The video has been recorded in Qaraghage a remote and drought place in Charkent district Balkh province Afghanistan, with 958 families,  no running water or spring just 3 wells 30 to 40 meter deep that is why they use donkeys to get water out. The wells are located in a village which only can give enough water for 100 families, the other villagers reserves the raining water in winter for use in summer, it is only possible if there is enough raining in winter.

Qaraghage is a place where most of the life depends on raining water the life is good when there is enough raining in winter because the villagers keep enough water for themselves and for domestic animals but the life is worse not only for human but for animals when there is no enough raining in winter because the villagers can’t keep enough water for themselves and also they can’t get any harvest of agriculture.

According to the villagers they don’t remember such a drought like this in their lives and they use the water remained from the previous years and they will only have enough water for drinking for a couple of months then they have to leave their houses and move somewhere to find the water.
