dc.descriptionThis study attempts to provide an overview of (a) the amount of Amu Darya flows generated in the northern Afghanistan; (b) the amount of water presently used in northern Afghanistan, prospective use in the near future, and possible impact of the increased use on the riparian states and the Aral Sea; (c) existing agreements between Afghanistan and the neighboring Central Asian States regarding the use waters in the Amu Darya Basin, their relevance and applicability in the present and in the future; and (d) future directions for water resources development and improved water management in the basin. Scarcity of data and information has been a key constraint in carrying out this study and the main reason for somewhat indefinite answers to the above questions. Adequate data is not available to provide assessment of non-agricultural water uses, such as the supply and potential for hydropower production and domestic water use, as well as future trends. Non-agricultural water uses should be addressed in future studies as the information becomes available.
