Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Kajaki hydroelectric Dam is located 55 miles north-west of Kandahar City in Helmand province, southern Afghanistan.

The dam has a dual function, to provide electricity and to irrigate some 650,000 acres of formerly land. Water discharging from the dam traverses some 300 miles (500 km) of downstream irrigation canals feeding farmland.

The Kajaki Dam is on the Helmand River and was constructed in 1953. It is 320 feet (100 m) high and 887 feet (270 m) long, with a storage capacity of 973,000 acre-feet (1.2 km cubed) of water. The dam is the main watershed for the Sistan Basin.
