National Water Affairs Regulation Authority, Multi Location
In accordance with the Decree 36 of the presidential office of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in view of national politics and strategy of the country during 1398, the National Water Affairs Regulation Authority (NWARA) has been established from one existing ministry: Ministry of Energy and Water
The Government of Afghanistan has identified the rehabilitation and expansion of the country's physical infrastructure as one of its highest priorities for the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan. As part of the basic economic infrastructure of the country, the water sector occupies special prominence in the Government's development plans. Several major Water sector projects, funded by the National Development Budget and by international financial institutions and donors, are presently under implementation and planning under the general oversight of the National Water Affairs Regulation Authority (NWARA).
Given the technical complexity of the Water sector and the particular demands posed by the coordination of the projects that are being funded by various sources, the NWARA assists its administration that will be based in Kabul and will reinforce NWARA in its internal and external activities and projects smoothness and speediness in fulfilling its obligations for water sector development
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Kajaki Dam is located on the Helmand River at latitude 32° 19' 20″ North, longitude 65° 07' 10″ East; (32.323N, 65.119E), in Kajaki District, Helmand Province, Afghanistan about 90 km northwest of Kandahar. The dam is considered high priority for ensuring adequacy of water resource for irrigation development and Power generation in the target area.
Kajaki Dam was originally planned to be built in phases. The initial phase of construction was to provide water storage for irrigating the Helmand Valley and was completed in 1953.American firm Morrison-Knudsen on contract for Afghanistan’s then royal government, with two 16.5 MW hydroelectric turbines subsequently installed by USAID in 1975, along with 110 Kilo-volt (v) transmission lines and substations that distributed their energy to the region. The power station of dam has space between the two existing turbines (one and three) for a third (turbine two), which was not installed before the US withdrew its aid to Afghanistan in 1979 following the Soviet military intervention. Spillway gates were not included in this initial phase and the dam was limited in its ability to regulate flood flows and provide flood reduction benefits. In 1975 the 33 MW powerhouse was completed and hydropower generation became an important function. Eventual spillway gate installation will allow Kajaki to regulate flood flow as well as provide additional irrigation and hydropower benefits to the Helmand Valley.
The objective of Kajaki Dam is for irrigation water storage, generation of hydroelectric power and water supply to the Helmand Valley. The service spillway gates are currently not installed and dam is limited in its ability to generate more power and regulate flood flows due to the fact that the spillway is uncontrolled. Water from Kajaki dam has vital role for domestic water supply in an indirect way by recharging the shallow aquifers along the river and irrigation networks.
Salient Feature of Dam Development Site
77 Construction USA Corp plans to increase the capacity of Kajaki Dam constructing an additional powerhouse next to the existing one with three units of 100MW installed capacity (3 x 33.3MW). In the first phase of the project, two units (each of33.3MW) are planned to be installed. Other unit (33.3MW) is planned to be installed in the second phase of project. This capacity increase is provided raising the dam height and placing radial gates on service spillway.
Objectives of Kajaki Dam Phase ΙΙ
The main objective of this Kajaki Dam Phase II Project is to increase both level and storage of the Kajaki Dam and Reservoir. The current normal operation elevation of 1033.50 m is to raise and new proposed operation elevation is 1045 m.
