15 February 2010 | Qala-e-Sofian, Wardak, Afghanistan

In the village of Qala-e-Sofian, in Wardak province, the U.S. Government helped local residents build 46 water dividers along the primary canal. The dividers provide regulated water access to off-shoot fields and prevent overflow or uneven water distribution. As a result, this project established more equitable water distribution and removed one of the primary sources of instability in the village – water disputes. The project was funded by a USAID community stabilization grant implemented by the community members themselves, and it employed 16 laborers for approximately 20 days.
