KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): Dahla Dam in southern Kandahar province, the second largest in Afghanistan, has been losing 200 million cubic metres (MCM) of water each year due to siltation, an official said on Monday.
Arghandab River Authority head Sher Mohammad Attai told Pajhwok Afghan News during an interview that the dam was 40 kilometres north of Kandahar City, the provincial capital.
The dam was first built 64 years ago during the reign of Zahir Shah, the last king of Afghanistan, with financial support from the United States . . .
