The villagers in Daikundi depend on agriculture. This year has set out to be a good year, with lots of rain promising high yields. But not every year is like this. Climate change will make droughts and other extreme weather events more likely and precipitation patterns will become increasingly unpredictable. We want to help people build better irrigation infrastructure to manage their water resources. This will shore up people’s resilience in the face of climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, we will support 5 local irrigation structures, two channels and 3 irrigation pools.
In Koopaj and Charkh villagers want to build irrigation channels. We are asked to provide the materials. The channel in Charkh will be 900 meters long, the one in Koopaj will cover a 1000 meters. Having these channels in place will free people from the burden of having to carry water over these distances to water their trees and other agricultural lands.
In Deyag, Jawooz and Tagab, villagers want to build new irrigation pools. Those water retention basins help to regulate the flow of water and help steer water to where it is most needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last couple of years, the villagers have planted lots of new almond trees. The new irrigation structures will help irrigate these trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pool in Jawooz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Work on the irrigation pool in Jawooz was started in May 2024. Darya has delivered the construction material at the end of May. DARYA spent 1015 Euro on this project. The cost information (for this project and all others) does not include pay for DARYA staff in Afghanistan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work is proceeding fast. Below, you can see a state of play by June 11th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By June 22nd, the basic structure is built. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pool was completed in August 2024. It will benefit 6 families and help irrigate 800 trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The irrigation channel in Charkh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In June DARYA delivered the hoses and other materials for the irrigation channel in Charkh. The channel will cover 900 meters and benefit 10 families. DARYA spent 785 Euro on this project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was completed in autumn 2024. It provides a source of irrigation water close to people’s homes and allows them to more easily irrigate their small almond trees. Here you can see people filling their irrigation canisters from the new water source. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
