Kolkhozobod (AFP) – Despite Tajikistan’s abundant water reserves, access to clean drinking water remains a privilege in this mountainous Central Asian country. The 25,000 mountain glaciers in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan mean the two countries control around two-thirds of the region’s water reserves, suggesting water should be abundant. But outdated infrastructure and funding difficulties complicate the supply of plentiful and reliable drinking water.
