Jul 09, 2009 - Zhari District, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan - Afghan civilians sit outside their homes and on a bridge in the center of one of several villages that sit along irrigation canals in the Pashmul area of Zhari District in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Numerous irrigation canals such as this get their water from the Arghandab River which have been greatly damaged by years of disrepair of the water system, Dala Dam due to the conflict. The Arghandab, Panjwai and Zahri Districts outside Kandahar City are major green agricultural zones..(Credit Image: © Louie Palu/ZUMA Press)
