1.Irrigation Program A) Marwarid Canal ① We have completed main canal thorough out 25.5 km (1.3km is added at the end.) The opening ceremony was held on 8 February, 2010, attended by the main members of Nangarhar Government and Japanese representatives. However, still many repair works and appurtenant work remained, continuing our work for another 7 years. ② The main drainage from Gamberi Dessert to Kunal River is still under construction. This work started from March 2009 and existing drainage has been widened and deepened to increase the capacity of flow rate. As a result, whole wet land which had been present for decades of years, almost dried up. By the end of June 2010, majority of the farmers have come back to start cultivating their rehabilitated land. Now construction of the drain is still going on, making the bridges, small irrigation aqueducts, road for dredging etc. at the place. (see attached map and documents) ③ From January to June 2010, 96,425 trees were planted. Total number of planted trees became over 400,000 along whole canal by the end of June 2010, although more than half of them requires watering still now. ＊ The details are on attached progress report. B) Construction of Inlet at Main Kama Canal PMS emergently started construction of Kama Inlets by requests of Irrigation Department on 14 December 2008, for its main two canals had dried up since November 2008. The construction of the first inlet has been completed on 15 February, 2009. We carried out repair works in January and February 2010. Regarding as the second gate, temporary repair was done from January to March in 2010. Now they are under observation to look into the condition in summer season. PMS is planning to complete the second water gate as well as some repair work of first one in this coming winter. 2. Agriculture program The previous pilot farm of PMS was shifted down from Dara-e Noor to upper Shigi (Gamberi) because of security problem in 2009. It has started again with larger scaled manner after bringing water by Marwarid Canal. Rapeseed and alfalfa were seeded as green manure several hectares from Feb. to April in 2010, followed by growing water melon, peanuts, rice, cotton and corn at total 22 hectares by the end of June 2010. 3.
