Severe Drought in Sar Nili, Daikundi Causes Water Shortages and Environmental Damage

In the Sar Nili area of Nili city, the capital of Daikundi province, a severe drought has led to the drying up of springs and qanats. As a result, the once lush trees have died, and vast parts of the natural environment have been damaged. Farmers in the region have been forced to cut down the dead trees, and residents must travel long distances to find drinking water. This harsh situation has created a serious crisis in meeting the basic needs of the people and poses a significant threat to both livelihoods and the environment. The recent droughts have, in addition to causing environmental damage, brought significant challenges to the daily lives of the people in Sar Nili and the broader Daikundi area.
