A small water reservoir with a storage capacity of 8,912 cubic meters was inaugurated in western Ghor province on Sunday, a local water official said. Ramazan Faiz, media officer at the Water and Energy Department, told Pajhwok Afghan News that the project was completed and put into use in Timber Memberto village of Lal-o-Sarjangal district.
Faiz said the reservoir was built with more than three million afghanis from the Ministry of Water and Energy’s development budget. He said the structure can store 8,912 cubic meters of water and will directly benefit about 650 families in the area. Residents expressed satisfaction with the project, saying it will help partially resolve their water-related problems.
The official also noted that, a few weeks earlier, another water-related structure — a check dam costing 2,435,750 afghanis — had been completed and put into operation in Ana village of Tiora district in Ghor province. Both projects were described by the Water and Energy Department as measures to improve local water availability.
The reporting attributes all project details, including costs, capacity and beneficiary estimates, to Ramazan Faiz speaking to Pajhwok Afghan News. No additional independent confirmations or documentary evidence were cited in the report.
