Critics have called on government to create proper mechanisms to harness and use Afghanistan's water resources and prevent it from going to waste. Currently most of the country's water flows into neighboring countries. Critics say government’s “inability” to take advantage of the country’s water resources could pose a major financial threat to the national economy. According to the Ministry of Water and Energy (MoWE), the ministry would need an extensive budget to build dams.
