nation as we speak we're talking about
0:10
colossal dams in Asia's largest
0:12
artificial River projects that you'd
0:14
never expect from a country with such a
0:16
turbulent past but here's the twist
0:19
where is all this money coming from are
0:21

0:38
dam that's said to help alleviate the

severe droughts causing widespread food
0:43
and water shortages can you imagine that
0:46
2022 the world food program warned of an
0:49
impending famine within 25 years putting

the nation's agricultural sector at risk
0:55
to combat this construction of the Tory
0:58
Dam in Zabo Province began began in

2022 with a budget of $1.15 million
1:05
surprisingly this dam is projected to
1:07
store about 3 million cubic M of water
1:10
irrigate 600 hectares of land and
1:12
generate 1,000 Kow of
1:17
electricity now let's move on to a mega
1:20
road project that was not what I
1:21
expected at the start it's like they're
1:23
getting some Modern motorways
1:25
introducing the heret Cobble Road
1:26
Network on April 29th 2024 for work
1:30
began on a crucial Road linking harat
1:32

1:50
by passing through the provinces of Gore
1:56
wock our next stop brings us to the
1:59
trans trans Afghan Railway project a
2:01
railway project in the desert really
2:04
well the trans Afghan Railway is poised
2:06
to become a vital economic Corridor
2:08
linking Central Asia with South Asia
2:10
while everyone's eyes were on cek this
2:12
project is something more spanning 75
2:16
kilometers this Railway is a key
2:18
component of the Taliban government's
2:19
plan to revive long-stalled Railway
2:22
projects the broader Vision includes a
2:24
network connecting usbekistan
2:26
Afghanistan and Pakistan with 700 km of
2:29
tracks supported by the three nations
2:32
this project will eventually link harat
2:34
to Iran and usbekistan estimated to cost
2:37
$5 billion yes it's dealing in billions
2:39
the railway is expected to be completed
2:45
years now let's take a look at the
2:47
Afghanistan ringroad project it's
2:49
one-of-a-kind ambitious project designed
2:52
to connect major cities and towns
2:54
including kabell Kandahar harat and
2:56
mazari shareif with a 3,200 kilomet Road
3:00
Network initiated in the 1960s the
3:03
project has faced numerous setbacks due
3:05
to Wars and political unrest despite
3:08
efforts by the Us and other foreign
3:09
governments to revive it in 2003 the
3:13
project stalled Again by 2006 however

5:05
Canal is a colossal project undertaken
5:07
by the Afghan government in the northern
5:09
Province drawing water from the AMU
5:11
Daria River the canal which measures 285
5:15
km in length 152 m in width and 8.5 m in
5:19
depth will make 550,000 hectares of
5:23
desert land fertile turning Afghanistan
5:25
into a major wheat exporter in the
5:27
Middle East the canal expected to cost
5:30
$684 million and be completed by 2028

millions of Afghans wait we're nearing
5:41
something you've got to see they're
5:42
literally pouring money into the desert
5:44
to turn it into gold the Sadam is
5:47
another notable project located in the
5:49
western province of harat this dam is a
5:51
symbol of Afghanistan's potential for
5:53
hydroelectric power standing 20 km long
5:56
and 144 M high this Mass massive
5:59
concrete gravity Dam can generate 42
6:02
megaw of electricity providing power to
6:05
homes and industries across the region
6:08
the dam also irrigates 75,000 hectares
6:11
of land enhancing agricultural
6:13
productivity the project was abandoned
6:15
until 2006 when the Indian government
6:18
led by President vaj payi revived it
6:21
with an initial investment of
6:22
$275 million finally the most ambitious
6:26
project is the kafarat railway which
6:28
involves thousand of kilometers of rail
6:30
network Afghanistan's strategic position
6:33
between China Iran Pakistan and Central
6:36
Asia makes it a key Transportation Link
6:39
in the region the KF harat Railway is a
6:41
crucial part of the proposed $2 billion

five Nation Railway Corridor spanning
6:46
Iran Afghanistan Tajikistan kyrgistan
6:49
