This study explores the role of the Chaman Fault in the distribution of hydrological division, groundwaterseparation of the aquifer systems of Khojak and Chaman basins. The Chaman Fault is a left-lateral strike-slip transformplate boundary located at the border city of Chaman, District Killa Abdullah, Balochistan. The Chaman fault plays animportant role in the division of groundwater in the subsurface, accommodating the structural compartment of theaquifer system. The studies showed that the strike-slip movement of the fault made the aquifer impervious along thefault line. This assertion may also be confirmed by the drastic change in the water table across the fault. Sharp changesin the groundwater table and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) were observed during the study. The Karazes which are anindigenous method of irrigation is present in the eastern foothills o...
