Description

On 12 September 1971, Afghanistan initiated a renovation project for aging irrigation canals in major farming provinces. Engineers assessed canal deterioration caused by sedimentation and structural cracks. Local communities assisted with clearing debris and repairing embankments. The improvements enhanced water flow and reduced seasonal shortages. The project supported long-term agricultural productivity.
