Hydrogeological investigations are carried out in six Asiab regions in Chack, Wardak Province of Afghanistan. The Asiab region is located

receded along the width of these regions, this converted the entire region into one big fault at the Alishang Village. Currently, the Asiab River runs
in a very steep area inside a valley causing erosion of the river all the way down to the riverbed. This river flowed from northeast to southeast
and at the Alishang village; it changed direction from north to south and joined with the Gardan Masjid River. In these regions, all aquifer layers
