KANDAHAR CITY, Afghanistan — The construction of concrete sewers in the village of Nazarin, just south of Kandahar City, is a project funded by the civil-military cooperation (CIMIC) detachment based at Camp Nathan Smith. It will help move dirty water away from the villagers' homes and increase sanitary conditions for the residents of Nazarin. The project was designed and completed by local villagers with CMIC teams making occasional visits to check on the progress of work.
