Abstract

This study examines the profound consequences of climate change in Afghanistan, notably the detrimental effects on water scarcity and river capacity. Urban areas, agriculture, livestock, health, industries, and the environment as a whole have been adversely impacted by these transformations. Climate-induced phenomena such as droughts, erratic rainfall patterns, floods, and other natural disasters have resulted in population migration and posed significant threats to human lives. The agricultural sector, in particular, has experienced substantial repercussions, leading to diminished productivity. The primary objective of this study is to assess the impact of climate change on Afghanistan's rivers, which are witnessing a persistent decline in their capacity, while proposing effective mitigation strategies. Through the generation of valuable insights, and raise awareness and foster proactive measures among the scientific community and policymakers to safeguard water resources.
