For a long time, the old dam and reservoir lacked maintenance and regular cleaning. Up untill few months ago, the basin was full of sediments up to two thirds of its depth.
Czech PRT has excavated more than 8 meters of mud in order to revitalize the dam and to restore its original function retention of water for agricultural use. , We use Surkhab water for irrigation throughout the whole year. The lack of water could cause a disaster for our community and conflicts could break out, local elder Baidjan said.
The project will continue through the construction of a retention wall, which will ensure that no more sediments will get into the dam. Last phase of the project includes planting of more than 2500 trees, which will function as a wind barrier and will protect Surkhab banks from erosion.
Consultations with local communities, an important component of PRT's strategy in Logar, played key role here: Discussions with locals were lenghty, but finally, we agreed on a long stripe of trees in three lines, Iva Smejkalova, agriculture advisor from Czech PRT, said.
The project worth over one million USD will improve irrigation conditions for 3500 local farmers, and also provided jobs for 80 workers from Logar. We appreciate Czech assistance a lot. Our farmers cannot grow anything without water, Abdul Wahab Ahmadzai, director of local high school said.
