Several residents of the capital are talking about the recent rise in the water levels at Qargha Dam, stating that the increase in water also led to more visitors.

“It has a nice climate.

The water level has also risen. It’s a great season, it’s spring, so we came here for photos and to enjoy ourselves,” said Mohammad Aref, a resident of Kabul.

Visitors who have come from various provinces also expressed their happiness about the increased water in the dam.

“I myself have come from Kandahar to enjoy the scenery and relax.

Our friends are here with us for taking photos and videos,” said Mohammad Haseeb, a resident of Kandahar.

“We had visited before, but the water was not as high as it is now.

The weather is excellent and the water has increased,” said Hamed, a resident of Ghazni.

A number of restaurant owners and businesspeople in the area are also optimistic about the increase in water and visitors to this recreational spot, saying that the previous decrease in water levels at Qargha Dam had reduced the number of visitors.

“We are optimistic that people will come to enjoy themselves this year, and we will host them, although it wasn’t this much in previous years,” said Mohammad, a restaurant manager.

“We also hope that friends come to visit, to see the restaurants and the dam area, and, God willing, we hope to serve them well,” said Mohammad Khaled, another restaurant manager.

Qargha is a famous recreational spot in the city of Kabul, surrounded by low hills and earthen mounds.

Qargha Dam was constructed as a recreational site during the reign of Mohammad Zahir Shah in 1330 (1951) and at that time, some government officials also lived nearby.

According to information from Kabul Municipality, the maximum capacity of this dam is 12 million cubic meters.—Tolonewes
