Local officials in Nimroz province said that for the first time after the inauguration of Kamal Khan Dam 10 months ago, the basin of the dam has been filled. This is due to the recent rain and snowfall, which led to surface water running into the dam, said officials.

The officials said that only one outlet of three has been opened, and it is for irrigation purposes as well as for drinking water. The officials also said the water of the dam is not flowing to any neighboring country.

“The outlet has been opened for the irrigation of farmlands that are located in Nimroz province,” said Mufti Habibullah Elham, director of the provincial department of information and culture.

Kamal Khan Dam is a hydroelectric and irrigation dam constructed on the Helmand River in Chahar Burjak district of Nimroz province in southwestern Afghanistan. According to officials, currently over 50 million cubic meters of water are held in the dam.Security officials said they are protecting the dam. “We will not allow any internal or external enemy to create any problem for the dam,” said Abu Ehsan, commander of a unit assigned to protect the dam.—TOL;O
