There is currently no water cooperation between Afghanistan and
Pakistan. Of the nine rivers that flow across the border, none
possess a formal agreement or mechanism to manage shared water
resources. Further, there is very little information available
about the status of environment, hydrology, and water resources
management for these river basins which could be used as a starting
point for dialogues on transboundary water coordination. This State
of the Basins Report co-develops an overview of the three most
important river basins, in collaboration with water professionals
and government agencies in the two countries. It covers water
resources, land resources, ecological health, environment, climate
change, and the social and economic conditions for sustainable
management of these precious resources. It will inform decision
making within the two countries, and begin to establish benefits
that can accrue from more active collaboration on these shared
waters. Key Points It features extensive engagement and
co-development with Afghan and Pakistani professionals It focuses
on portions of the Indus shared by Afghanistan and Pakistan The
first book on the shared waters in the Indus, developed in the
context of regional realities associated with post-August 2021
Taliban takeover. The book is aimed at government decision makers,
private sector investors, universities, donors, intermediary
organizations that work directly with farmers, researchers and
students. It is a reference book for graduate students and
researchers working on these basins, and on transboundary river and
lake basin management in Asia and beyond.
