Abstract

In the past few decades, the rapid growth of the Logar population, improper water management, environmental problems, air, water and soil pollution, climate change, wars, migrations and other various causes have damaged the water resources from all sides. Until some areas are dry or in the process of drying. In this article, a brief overview of the surface water of Logar province and the effects of climate change on it are evaluated. Several years of information related to air temperature, rainfall, and water flow have been collected and subjected to comprehensive research, and the effects of climate change on these parameters have been evaluated. At the end of the article, the problems and damages caused to Logar's surface water due to climate change have been evaluated and appropriate solutions have been suggested.
