The Kabul River is a significant waterway in Afghanistan, flowing through the capital city, Kabul. It originates in the Hindu Kush mountains and travels approximately 700 kilometers before merging with the Indus River in Pakistan. The river plays a crucial role in the region's ecology and economy, providing water for irrigation and supporting local agriculture. The river's banks are home to various communities, and it has historical importance as a trade route. Despite its significance, the Kabul River faces challenges such as pollution and seasonal fluctuations in water flow, impacting both the environment and the livelihoods of those who depend on it.
