Afghanistan Human Development Report 2011
Afghanistan Human Development Report 2011 - The Forgotten Front: Water Security and the Crisis in Sanitation examines the deep and persistent deprivation in access to drinking water, sanitation and irrigation in Afghanistan, as well as the risks of drought and floods. Reliable access to sufficient and safe water is integral to all aspects of human development: the presence or absence of reliable access represents the difference between prosperity and poverty, good health and bad health. Access to water or a lack of access to water facilitates or blocks the ability of Afghans to live full, secure and productive lives.
