Kabul Edges Toward Disaster As It Becomes First Modern Capital City To Run Out Of Water

Zero Hedge-
Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, is on the verge of becoming the first modern capital city to run out of water, according to Yahoo/CNN. 

Residents across the city are in a daily scramble to find enough to drink, cook, and wash. “We don’t have access to (drinking) water at all,” one woman told CNN. “Water shortage is a huge problem affecting our daily life.”

The Yahoo/CNN report says that years of population growth, over-extraction, and climate change have pushed Kabul’s groundwater to crisis levels. Nearly half of its boreholes have already gone dry. According to Mercy Corps, the city now pumps 44 million cubic meters more water each year than nature can replace.

And the water that is available isn’t safe. Up to 80% of Kabul’s groundwater is contaminated, leading to widespread illness. Residents like Ahmad Yasin have spent months and their life savings digging wells—only to find the water undrinkable. “We boil the well water for extended periods of time, let it cool and then drink it,” he said. more

  10. “The Yahoo/CNN report says that years of population growth, over-extraction, and climate change …”

    If they believe in that “climate change” bullshit then it’s no wonder they can’t figure out how to successfully drill for water. Maybe they should turn to the One, True God and jettison their phony profit and his Satanic “religion?”

  12. All pretense of modern aside, how in the heck, on the heels of war, do they have too many people?

    And as mentioned above, live like it’s 7th century, die like it’s 7th century.

  13. Biden left 10 of thousands of heavy equipment, US Blood and treasure in Afghanistan. Figure it out, taliban.

    Here’s an Idea, while you are on your knees call upon your false pedophile prophet for guidance.

  14. Climate change? CLIMATE CHANGE? Only the brain dead leftists are going to give that lie any credence.

    Maybe we could show them that TV series “V” where the lizard aliens are stealing the earth’s water. Surly, they would believe that!

    Good grief!

  15. So to beat Afghanistan all anyone had to do was let them Govern Themselves & Create/Maintain their own Infrastructure?

    Like I said 20 years ago, B-52 Fire Bomb the poppy fields from 50,000ft and NOT ONE BOOT ON THE GROUND!

  18. “Alysha Bibi, Rhea Mogul and Masoud Popalzai, CNN”

    CNN must be doing alright to afford this crack team of journos doing the job of one. I bet they didn’t have any problem get good water in Kabul. If any of them even set foot in that gleaming, modern metropolis.

  21. Lotta good comments there. Couldn’t happen to a nicer batch of… people. Just use the boy children and goats exclusively, the problem will eliminate itself over time.

  25. Two things;
    1. I read that 80% of the ground water is contaminated with the chemicals used to process opium (not climate change).
    2. To paraphrase Sam Kinison don’t send water or cash “send them luggage so they can move to where the water is”.

    And they have to be intact and in good running condition. I know what it’s like to change those early Hummer V6 Diesel engine glow plugs.
