The Zabul ADT helps villages in the Tarnek wa Jaldak district of Zabul province inspect their karez systems for damage and then loans the villages the equipment needed for repairs. A karez is a system of underground channels that carry water from the aquifer at higher elevations to areas down slope. ( Army Photo by Sgt.
