In a related ceremony, Herat Governor Maulana Islam Jar said that the construction of a sewage treatment center will provide a basis for the reuse of treated water along with the standard management of sewage, according to which farmers will be able to use it to irrigate their agricultural lands.
He stressed on the protection and proper management of water resources and asked the citizens and farmers to avoid unnecessary consumption of water and to adopt new and modern irrigation methods.
It should not be forgotten that the first part of these projects is the construction of a sewage treatment center at the cost of 40 million Afghanis in the eastern region of Angel district, which will have the capacity to treat two thousand cubic meters of sewage per day.
The second project is the construction of a clean drinking water supply network in the 12th and 15th districts of Herat city at the cost of 22 million Afghanis. After completion, clean drinking water will be provided to thousands of families.
It is worth noting that the implementation of these projects is taking place at a time when the protection of water resources, sewage treatment and people’s access to clean drinking water are considered important needs of urban life, environmental protection and agricultural economy.
