PRT IMPROVES IRRIGATION IN KUNAR AFGHANISTAN.
KABUL, Jan 1 Asia Pulse - The Konar Provincial Reconstruction Team is working with Afghans in Manawara District to restore an irrigation system that fell into disrepair during decades of war in Afghanistan.
The ancient Karez system consists of 12 wells and numerous aqueducts which use river water and underground spring water to irrigate crops in the area. Soviets bombed the irrigation system in the 1980s to prevent Afghan fighters from transporting weapons and ammunition through the tunnels. The system has sustained other damage over time as well.
"The age, bombardment by the Soviets and its depth below the surface make it difficult to survey and repair the wells in Marawara District," said Navy Lt. j.g. James Dietle. "The team believes there is a blockage in the tunnel preventing the water from getting to the crops. We are trying to help find and fix the kink."
