Band E Sardeh Dam, Embankment dam in Andar District, Ghazni, Afghanistan
The Band E Sardeh Dam features a substantial reservoir with a capacity of 260 million cubic meters, distributing water through a main canal and two branches.
Soviet engineers constructed the dam in 1967 during Mohammad Zahir Shah's reign, marking a period of infrastructure development between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union.
The dam's presence has influenced local farming traditions, transforming agricultural practices and water management methods in southern Ghazni and neighboring Paktika Province.
The reservoir receives water from the Jilga River, which changes names to Gardez River north of the dam and Sarda River south of it.
The dam's location near a military airport established in the 1980s made it a strategic point during multiple conflicts in Afghanistan.
