One of the most remote and sparsely populated areas of Afghanistan, the arid province of Zabul is traversed by the Arghandab and Tarnak rivers. Agricultural communities are established along these waterways, and the region has traditionally produced wheat, almonds, grapes, and apricots. However, severe drought has reduced the overall fertility of the land. The mainly Pashtun residents of Zabul are deeply conservative and their infrastructure is largely undeveloped. Although Zabul has several hospitals and health clinics, only Qalat City has electricity and only the Ring Road is paved.
