In 2004, USGS worked with the State department in Afghanistan where the geological survey there had been nonfunctional for years. I led a team that focused on getting the water supply system restructured in Kabul. We were to then go out across the country to rebuild water supply systems. We brought computers, water pumps and other electronics to 12 students. We were full of hope of rebuilding this system, but that began to fade away. The limited funds have not allowed us to finish the work we were sent there to do and the war in Iraq took so much attention off Afghanistan we were not able to finish the job.
