Ground Water Monitoring System
For many years, we have been conducting groundwater monitoring in 29 provinces of Afghanistan through the construction of close to 400 Ground Water Monitoring Wells covering approximately 85 percent of the river basins of the country. Our network has been a unique source of information regarding the qualitative and quantitative status of groundwater in the country. Our Groundwater Monitoring Teams visit these wells on a monthly basis to measure water levels and test water samples on a semi-annual basis. The collected data is then analyzed, interpreted and mapped with the help of a specialized Integrated Water Resources Data Management System. The system provides crucial long-term scientific information regarding groundwater quality and quantity and the sustainability and functionality of water points in support of planning of water supply projects by DACAAR and other WASH actors.
