  • Groundwater Natural Resources and Quality Concern in Kabul Basin, Afghanistan

    Groundwater Natural Resources and Quality Concern in Kabul Basin, Afghanistan

    Groundwater natural resources and quality concern in Kabul Basin, Afghanistan Scientific Investigation Report in Afghanistan By: M. Hassan Saffi, Hydro geologist Edited by: M.Naim Eqrar Professor of Geosciences faculty, Kabul University June 2011 Paikob-e-Naswar, Wazirabad, PO Box 208, Kabul, Afghanistan Phone: (+93) (020) 220 17 50 Mobile (+93) (0)70 28 82 32 E-mail: [email protected] Web site: www.dacaar.org i Abstract Historical groundwater level and water quality data in Kabul Basin were reviewed and compared with the data collected recently. The results suggest that the groundwater quality and water level have been improved progressively with urban development, land use, climate change, socio - economic development and frequent drought events. The main impact of these events include; 1) most of the springs and karezes have dried up; 2) decreased annual precipitation; 3) increased serious deterioration of water quality; 4) increased water logging and salinization; 5) declining of water level in excess of recharge trend; 7) increased evaporation and; 6) marshes dried up in several areas of the Basin, leaving salt crust at the surface. The above impacts have resulted in the replacement of surface water by groundwater resources to support socio-economic development. This, however, is basically not possible because of low thickness and productivity of the aquifers. We have done very little to tackle water quality deterioration and serious lowering of the groundwater level due to fragmented institutional arrangements and poor formulation of effective water policies, strategies and regulation for integrated groundwater resources management, development, protection and sustainability. Groundwater natural reserves have been depleted and water quality has deteriorated due to over-exploitation.

    IJERD – International Journal of Environmental and Rural Development (2017) 8-1 Research article erd Current Agricultural Status and Problems faced in Paghman District of Kabul Province, Afghanistan RAHMANI SHAFIQULLAH Graduate School of Agriculture, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Japan Email: [email protected] MACHITO MIHARA* Faculty of Regional Environment Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Japan Email: [email protected] Received 15 December 2016 Accepted 27 June 2017 (*Corresponding Author) Abstract Afghanistan, an agricultural and land locked country, located in the heart of Asia. More than 75% of country’s population is living in rural areas. Paghman District located in the Kabul Province of Afghanistan was selected for conducting this research. In Paghman District, there are some severe problems regarding agricultural land use, water resource conservation, and utilization. The objective of this study is to identify current agriculture status and problems faced in Paghman District for conserving water environment of the Qargha Reservoir qualitatively and quantitatively. To achieve the objectives, a questionnaire survey was conducted to find out the current agricultural status and problems faced in Paghman District. One or more local farmers (representatives) were selected from each of the 15 different villages in Qargha Reservoir watershed of Paghman District. The results indicated that water shortage, soil erosion, and low fertility were the major factors causing low agricultural productivity. Majority of the local farmers perceived water shortage magnitude as severe and very severe at 33%, respectively. Local farmers’ awareness about soil erosion effects on their cultivated lands were minor. About 54% of the local farmers were not aware of the soil erosion effects on their lands.

    ODA Topics Tokyo Conference on Afghanistan On July 8, 2012, the Japanese and Afghan Governments jointly held the Tokyo Conference on Afghanistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were among representatives from 55 countries and 25 international organizations and civil societies who participated in the conference, and together the international community committed to supporting development efforts of Afghanistan towards its self-reliance throughout the Transformation Decade* (2015–2024). The aim of the Conference was to deliver the message that the international community would not abandon Afghanistan in 2015 and beyond by demonstrating the international community’s strong commitment for the cooperation. * At the Bonn Conference in Bonn, Germany in December 2011, the international community named the 10 years beginning at the end of 2014 upon the complete transfer of security responsibility in Afghanistan from the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) to Afghanistan the “Transformation De- cade” and agreed to forge a new and deeper cooperative relationship between the international community and Afghanistan. ■ Aim of Tokyo Conference the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
