Training
The Strengthening Water Resources Management in Afghanistan (SWaRMA) Initiative is focused on supporting capacity building for hydrological modelling of the Kabul River basin in Afghanistan. Accordingly, the Initiative conducted a two-week training in 2018 on J2000 hydrological modelling of the Panjshir catchment for academic institutions and several government agencies in Afghanistan, such as the Water Resources Department (WRD); Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW); and Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock (MAIL). As a follow-up to this training, selected participants from the WRD and MEW were invited to Kathmandu in early 2019 for a month-long on-the-job training. These capacity-building activities helped two participants set up various sub-basin scale hydrological models on the Kabul River basin. MEW also developed a sub-basin scale watershed model for the Kabul River basin.

20 August 2019 to 22 August 2019
To build on this progress, SWaRMA is planning to deliver a training in November 2019 on the impacts of climate change on the water resources of the Kabul River basin. The training is targeted at a few selected participants from government bodies and universities in Afghanistan. A Kabul River basin model was developed for this training in collaboration with MEW representatives during the on-the-job training in early 2019.
A J2000 refresher meeting has been proposed for MEW representatives from 20 to 22 August 2019, catering to participants expected to attend the November 2019 training.
