Officials in the Herayrod River Basin state that following rainfall in Ghor province, the water reserves in the Salma Dam have reached their highest level.
Sardar Wali Muzamel, the Taliban head of the Herayrod River Basin, has stated that due to the rising water level in this dam, on Friday night, May 17, 400 cubic meters of water were released from the dam.
Mr. Muzamel further adds that the release of this amount of water is due to the increase in water resources, and there is no cause for concern along the waterway, as the water boundary of the Herayrod River is 500 square meters, which has been previously communicated to the people in this area.
The head of the Herayrod River Basin states that to prevent the destruction of the Salma Dam, 400 cubic meters of water have been released, and currently more than 480 million cubic meters of water are stored.
