Description

On 6 November 1972, Afghanistan began a series of engineering workshops focusing on rural water conservation. Hydrologists and irrigation specialists trained participants in reducing canal leakage, improving water storage, and preventing soil saturation damage. The workshops were held across multiple provinces with recurring drought conditions. Farmers gained practical skills for managing scarce water resources. This initiative supported long-term environmental resilience.
