80% of Sar-e Pul Residents Lack Access to Clean Drinking Water

The Directorate of Rural Rehabilitation and Development in Sar-e Pul province has reported that 80% of the local population does not have access to clean drinking water. 

However, the inauguration of two water supply networks in the province, costing 15 million afghani, has provided clean water to at least 900 families.

Director Jummah Haqyar stated: "Approximately 80% of the population faces challenges in accessing potable water. In the Al-Jihad and Sayad districts, there isn’t even water within 100 meters."

Local residents expressed relief over the newly available water supply:

Noor Mohammad, a resident of Sar-e Pul, said: "Previously, we had to fetch water from rivers using barrels and donkeys. Now, with wells dug, water is delivered directly to our homes, solving our problems."

Another resident, Zekrullah, said: "During summer months, dry wells caused significant hardship. Now, thanks to the new water supply, we are very grateful."

Abdul Wahab echoed similar sentiments: "Previously, 80% of the water was polluted and inaccessible. Now, clean water is available, and everything has improved."

The Directorate of Rural Rehabilitation and Development has called on aid organizations, traders, and investors to establish more water supply networks to alleviate the province's water crisis.
