There are significant concerns about the sustainability of groundwater, and the inhabitants that depend on it, due to rapid groundwater depletion from the alluvium aquifers in Kabul city. Sustainable groundwater management in Kabul requires an unders... Read More about Investigating groundwater recharge using hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes in Kabul city, a semi-arid region.

Determinants of household safe drinking water practices in Kabul, Afghanistan: New insights from behavioural survey data (2023)
Journal Article
Hamidi, M. D., Haenssgen, M. J., & Greenwell, H. C. (2023). Determinants of household safe drinking water practices in Kabul, Afghanistan: New insights from behavioural survey data. Water Research, 244, Article 120521. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2023.120521

More than 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. Household water treatment (HWT) is an interim option for reducing the risk of water born disease. Understanding the factors that influence HWT behaviour is crucial for deliverin...
