Abstract
Recently, there has been growing concern and speculation about the conflict between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and Iran over the water issue. Water scarcity and its management are serious problems facing many countries of the world. In this article, we aim to shed light on the potential factors behind the water resource tensions between Afghanistan and Iran. It is essential to approach the subject with an open mind as we strive to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding the region's water challenges.
