The four decades long ideological-based insurgencies and conflict
in the Kabul River Basin (KRB) have seriously hampered the
relations and foreign policies of both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Consequently, it restricts them to solve various bilateral issues
including transboundary waters. This lack of cooperation over
shared water resources is one of the barriers to achieve inclusive
and sustainable development. Additionally, it has contributed to
the prevailing anarchic situation where each country does what it
wants. The absence of a formal water-sharing mechanism coupled with
poor water management practices within both the riparian counties
are resulting various flow and administration-related challenges.
Moreover, these challenges are further exacerbated by regional
changes in social, political, environmental and economic systems.
The scholarly literature suggests that an analytical transboundary
water governance framework is essential to address the challenges
of water politicisation and securitisation, quality degradation and
quantity reduction. Additionally, the literature rarely integrates
(a) a multi-level approach, (b) an institutional approach (c) an
inclusive development approach, or (d) accounts for the uses of
different types of water and their varied ecosystem services for
improved transboundary water governance. To enhance human wellbeing
and achieve inclusive and sustainable development in the KRB this
research indicates that it is essential to: (1) defrost frozen
collaboration; (2) bypass border dispute; (3) use biodiversity and
ecosystem services approach; (4) address existing and potential
natural and anthropogenic challenges; (5) remove contradictions in
the policy environment; (6) combat resource limits and dependence
by promoting collaboration on long-term cost effective solutions;
and (7) enhance knowledge and dialogue on inclusive development.
