Why Kabul May Be the First Modern City to Run Out of Water | Planet Pulse | N18G

Kabul faces an alarming water crisis that could make it the first modern city to run out of water by 2030. Over-extraction, climate change, rapid urbanisation, and poor governance have caused aquifer levels to drop drastically. Nearly half of the city’s boreholes have dried, and 80% of the groundwater is contaminated. Residents spend up to 30% of their income on water, with many in debt. International aid remains underfunded and frozen due to political turmoil. Experts warn that urgent investment is needed for long-term water solutions. Without swift action, millions may be displaced, triggering a humanitarian and migration crisis. Watch the video to know more.
