Introduction
Relief is the representation of the shapes of hills, valleys, streams, or terrain features on the earth's surface.
Relief is an important physical variable which has an immense impact on other surfacial variables on the earth’s surface.
Relief is the foremost topographic variable represented by various contour values. The relief provides the nature of terrain and its pattern as existing in a region.
It is closely associated with drainage, as it determines the flow directions, slope, aspect etc.

Study Area Afghanistan is a rugged, land locked country in south central
Asia. Afghanistan lies along the great tectonic upheaval that has
produced the world’s highest mountain ranges, Himalayas, Karakoram, Pamirs and Hindukush rising over 7000m, running in a north east – south west direction.
This study area centers around Kabul region where the future demand for water seems to be enormous Keeping this in view an area encompassing about 20487 km2 lying between (680-700 East and 330 -360 of North) is slected for the study purpose.
The climate is arid to semi arid with cold winters and hot summers.

Northern basin (includes Amu Darya River basin covering 24% of the country’s area (about 156.000sqkm)
Morghab–Harirood basin(Covers about 12% of the country’s area (about 78,000sqkm)
South-eastern basin((farah –Helmand). This basin covers 52% of the country’s area (about 338000 sqkm)
Indus – Kabul basin(The basin totally covers 12% of the country’s area (about 78000 sqkm) Kabul river basin having 53000 sqkm of area is discharged into Indus River in Pakistan)

Ground water analysis
The quality of ground water is an important issue to be considered as it affects the human health both directly as well as indirectly.
The quality of ground water in the vicinity of Kabul city varies in some areas, the high concentration of dissolved solids and the presence of some constituents at concentrations are deemed harmful to humans and crops alike.
However, the quality of ground water is significantly affected by sewage in the vicinity of the built up areas. Of particular concern are higher concentrations of Nitrate, Boron and Dissolved solids.

Causes of contamination of Groundwater in Kabul city
o Population explosion.o Low precipitation(Depletion)o Sewage system is not exist.o Drought o Destroying upper layer of the river for
construction purpose.o Dumping waste material directly in the river.o Flowing of industrial water directly to the river.

The TIN values range from 5088m to 1000m. Excepting the central region with values around 2000m, the rest of the study region accounts for higher TIN values.
DEM values range from 1000m to 5600m, as depicted by contours. The whole northern and north eastern region exhibit high values, whereas the whole central and southern region show less values. The south south eastern portion once again shows a rugged nature.

Kabul is suffering from lack of drinking water. Groundwater in Kabul city is depleting due to more usage
day to day. This water is not enough for current population in Kabul city. To find the sources of water for better use of water in Kabul
city. To find a best way for charging ground water. To find the stubble place for damming. To manage water resource in a logic way for sustainable
development.

Rock and Earth dams are the most common and easy means of ground water replenishment.
These sites are identified on the basis of not only elevations but also on the basis of drainage lines. These dam sites are chosen mainly to recharge the ground water aquifers in Kabul region.

The dam site around 1800m along with low lying zone below 1800m is shown The lowest elevation in the area comes out to be around 1000 m.
This can give rise to 3132 sqkm of utilizable area under the impact of continuous water supply due to gravity of flow in conformity with natural gradient from the dam site.
The utilizable area pertains to Kabul, Kapisa and Parwan regions. In fact, the utilizable area lies very close to Kabul city which can make use of the resources in a more effective way.

Conclusion GIS improves calculations for watershed characteristics,
flow statistics, debris flow probability, and facilitates the watershed delineation by using Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). It provides a consistent method for watershed analysis using DEMs and standardized datasets such as land cover, soil properties, gauging station locations, and climate variables.
