A number of residents of northern Faryab province are concerned about the digging of deep wells and the improper use of groundwater. But Afghanistan is still using centuries-old systems. Ghulam Farooq, irrigation development head at the Faryab Agriculture Department, said over 70 percent people in the province were associated with agriculture. Most of these people irrigated one to two acres of land with underground water.
