Description

On 20 December 1973, Afghanistan launched a study to evaluate water supply systems in rapidly growing urban centers. Engineers assessed pipe infrastructure, groundwater depletion, and seasonal shortages. The study identified neighborhoods at risk of contamination or inadequate water flow. Findings guided investment in new wells, treatment facilities, and distribution lines. The initiative strengthened long-term urban planning efforts.
