This ambitious project is managed by the Afghan National Development Corporation and funded by the government, with a total cost estimated around $600 million.
The canal aims to transform arid land into fertile farms, benefiting over a million people. Despite challenges, including limited resources and an isolated workforce, the project's construction is progressing rapidly.
Afghanistan defies odds by building the Kosh tepa Canal, Asia's largest artificial river, to combat water scarcity and cultivate over 55,000 hectares of land.
This government-funded project aims to revitalize arid regions and boost agriculture, contributing to economic growth and self-sufficiency.
Afghanistan's remarkable achievement involves constructing a 285km-long artificial river to address water shortages.
The canal will transform vast stretches of arid land into fertile farms, focusing on wheat and grains.
The project is executed in three phases, encompassing excavation, water system installation, and infrastructure development.
