Iran About to Receive Water Share From Afghanistan’s Helmand River

Afghanistan’s water officials opened discharge valves at the Kamal Khan Dam on Helmand River and water is expected to flow into three big reservoirs in the Sistan Plain called Chah-Nimeh in Sistan-Baluchestan Province soon, the provincial governor general said.
“Protracted negotiations with the neighbor have eventually yielded positive results and Iran is about to receive its water share from Helmand River after a long time,” Hossein Modarres Khiabani was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
“Chah-Nimeh reservoirs are three natural and big cavities in the south of Sistan Plain, 50 kilometers from Zabol and 90 km from Kamal Khan Dam in Afghanistan,” he said, adding that surplus water from Hirmand River flows into them through a canal.
