History for the Uncleanliness
Currently in Afghanistan there are many people who don't have clean water. One of the reason for this is, over time Afghanistan has been in wars and the result of the wars has left Afghanistan struggling. There are other reasons besides the war that has led to the water situation. Another reason for people not having clean water is that sanitation in Afghanistan. There is also one more big reason for people having unclean water and that is a lack of education in Afghanistan.

Who the Unclean Water Affects |
How the War Affected Afghanistan |
Afghanistan has a population of 29 million people. Only 27% of the population has access to improved water sources. Around 79%of Afghanistan's population lives in rural areas. Only 20% of the people that live in rural areas has access to improved water sources. That's the worst in the world.
The Sanitation in AfghanistanSanitation is reason for people in Afghanistan not having clean water. There are not very many places that purify water left. So it is even more difficult for people to get clean water. Also, there is not a sanitary way for the people to go to the bathroom. Afghanistan doesn't have any wastewater management, but they couldn't use them anyway because that would require water, which they don't have. Instead of flushing it they store it in tanks, but the tanks can leak, making the ground and any water near it unsanitary.

Afghanistan has been in many wars and the wars have left Afghanistan extremely hurt. Afghanistan has been in many wars, some of the wars with the Taliban, many different mujahidin groups and there were many others. Also, in those wars Afghanistan was bombs, which destroyed lots of there cities and more. Something that was destroyed was the water pumps, which pumped clean water to the people. Without the pumps people have a harder time getting clean water. The reason why nothing in Afghanistan is getting better is that they need time to rebuild what was destroyed in the wars, but they cant rebuild because they are still fighting.
Lack of EducationIn Afghanistan there is a lack of education. This is another reason for people having unclean water. There is always a solution to a problem, but no one in Afghanistan is educated enough to solve the problem. If more people in Afghanistan were educated they could find a way to pump clean water to everyone, but there aren't enough educated people. That's why the lack of education is a reason for this problem.

Solutions
There are many different solutions to this problem, but other countries have to get involved to help Afghanistan. One solution is that another countries will help have to Afghanistan improve its education. If that happens Afghanistan will be able to fix it's problems with the unclean water. Another solution is that a country will go to Afghanistan and build water pipes and pumps, then Afghanistan will have working water and be able to supply people with the water that they need.
