- Afghanistan has approved a plan to divert water from the Kunar River to the Darunta Dam in Nangarhar province.
- The Kunar River originates in Chitral district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan, and flows into Afghanistan before re-entering Pakistan.
- The river finally joins the Indus River near Attock in Punjab, Pakistan.
- The diversion project may reduce downstream water flow into Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region.
- Reduced river flow can affect irrigation, drinking water supply, and hydroelectric power generation in Pakistan.
- There is no formal water-sharing treaty between Afghanistan and Pakistan for the Kunar River.
