In the intervening decade-and-a-half, Kabul s unquenchable demand for water has meant Mr Musawi s old methods have now been hopelessly left behind. The unchecked growth of the city has seen demand from its roughly six million inhabitants cause the water table to plummet and trigger a looming water crisis.
