"Afghanistan faces the worst drought I've experienced in decades. I don't know how to deal with the water scarcity. The government is failing to resolve the water problems for people as it is involved in fighting with militants and curbing terrorist attacks," Kabul resident Hajji Rashed told Xinhua.
"The vast majority of the households on this hilltop remain unassisted. They are lacking access to safe drinking water. I urge the government to take serious measures to help the needy people by providing safe drinking water," Rashed said.
Even though many water dams have been and are being constructed in some parts of the country, water scarcity is still a monumental challenge, as some of the projects are yet to be completed.
According to a U.S. 2010 Geological Survey report and the Afghan government, Kabul will require six times more water as its population reaches 9 million by 2050.
