Bookmark this page Afghanistan: Geography Afghanistan is shaped roughly like a clenched fist with the thumb of the Vakhan Corridor extended out to the northeast. Afghanistan covers an area of 652,225 sq km (251,825 sq mi). Its maximum length from east to west is about 1,240 km (about 770 mi); from north to south it is about 1,015 km (about 630 mi). The northwestern, western, and southern border areas are primarily desert plains and rocky ranges, whereas the southeast and northeast borders rise progressively higher into the major, glacier-covered peaks of the Hindu Kush an extension of the western Himalayas. The northern border is formed by the Amu Darya river and its tributary, the Panj. With the exception of the river valleys and a few places in the lowlands where underground fresh water makes irrigation possible, agriculture is extremely difficult. Only 12 percent of the land is cultivated. Moreover, a unfortunate war with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in the 1980s and the subsequent civil war in the 1990s left some of that land unusable because of neglect, the planting of explosive mines, and other problems. Mostly sheep and goat grazing make up the main agricultural land use. In eastern and southeastern Afghanistan, forest lands amounted to 1.4 million hectares (3.5 million acres), or 2 percent of the country's land area in 1995. The terrible ravages of war, the extreme scarcity of fuel, and the need for firewood for cooking and heating have caused rapid deforestation.

The Kabul River is dry after spring but before entering Pakistan, it is joined by three other rivers and swells to a mighty river. The irrigation systems were damaged during the war. Only one in Parwan and two in Kandahar are functional. Climate Environment Forestery The total forest covered area is 2.1% of the total land area (3.1% in 1990). Timber production in 1998 was 8.09m. cu.metres. Agriculture Fisheries In 1998 the total catch was estimated to be 1,200 tonnes, exclusively from inland waters. Power Generation Total power generation capacity cannot meet the requirements of the growing population and the fledgling light industries.
