Abstract :
The vital importance and scarcity of water have compelled people worldwide to adopt more responsible and
efficient approaches to its utilization and management. This includes ensuring that every drop is used wisely while
minimizing wastage through containment, control, and storage in reservoirs, retention basins, and dams. The construction
of the Kamal Khan Dam in Nimroz province is a preventive measure aligned with these efforts. Studies on the construction
and operation of this dam indicate that it facilitates the storage of excess water from the Helmand River during periods of
high flow, making it available for drinking and agricultural use during times of water scarcity. Additionally, the
establishment of a hydroelectric power plant on this dam enables the conversion of water's potential energy into electricity,
addressing local energy needs, particularly in the city of Zaranj. This project is expected to play a crucial role in fostering
long-term development and improving various aspects of life for local communities.
