KANDAHAR (Pajhwok): Drought has affected half of fruit orchards in Arghistan district of southern Kandahar province, shrinking the production of pomegranates this season, farmers say.
The farmers say the underground water level in Arghistan has significantly plummeted as a result of the prolonged dry spell and water in Karez systems reduced by 80 percent. They urged the government to build the Lora dam in the district to resolve the water scarcity issue.
Tribal elders of the district say they had shared the issue with the governor’s . . .
