Kabul, a city of over six million people, could become the first modern city to run out of water in the next five years, a new report has warned.
Groundwater levels in the Afghan capital have dropped drastically due to over-extraction and the effects of climate change, according to a report published by nonprofit Mercy Corps.
You act like the common civilians have much of a choice in all of this matter. Shit like this happens because power and wealth are leveraged to create outcomes that are better for specific individuals rather than groups on a whole. Someome with power made the decision to over extract. And even if they votes for it. Should we let people die because of this because it was there choice? Or should we help them because we can and that can be our choice?
Oh, you feel the white man’s burden because the brown people are too simple to govern themselves? They need your guiding hand to help them along the road to civilisation?
