BAGHLAN, Afghanistan - Afghan villagers, local leaders and Hungarian soldiers celebrated the opening of a 400-meter-long flood control dam in the Awlad village of the Deh-e-Selah District recently.
The project was selected by the Provincial Development Council and built by Afghans.
The Hungarian Provincial Reconstruction Team, which financed the project, supports the Afghan population in Baghlan province with projects for education, health care and infrastructure.
The PRT supported several flood prevention projects in the province because the spring floods cause significant damage every year.
The new dam will prevent flooding from a nearby stream that overflows regularly.
