Dehdolat Small Dam in Ghazni's Khwaja Omari District Fills with Water
KABUL (Afghan Verified) — The Dehdolat small storage dam in Ghazni province's Khwaja Omari district has filled with water due to recent rains, the Ministry of Water and Energy reported in a press release.
The ministry stated that the dam's filling will recharge springs and deep wells in the area, resulting in a significant increase in agricultural yields for local farmers.
Constructed and handed over by the DRC organization last year, the Dehdolat dam is one of several small storage facilities aimed at improving water management in the region.
The ministry noted that heavy rains last week have led to the filling of storage dams across many parts of the country, while also causing river water levels to rise. This development comes amid ongoing efforts to enhance water infrastructure following years of drought and variable weather patterns.
No further details on the exact volume of water or immediate operational plans were provided in the announcement.
