Gamberi
Gamberi (Pashto: ګمبېرۍ) is an area on the outskirts of Jalalabad in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan.
In the past, the area used to be a forest of indigenous bushes, but deforestation during the War in Afghanistan (since 1978) led to desertification and erosion of agricultural fields.[1] In 2000, a drought hit the region which resulted in multiplications of diseases due to malnutrition and lack of water.[2][3] In 2003, the Japanese-Afghan physician Tetsu Nakamura started building irrigation canals in the region.[4] He drew inspiration from the irrigation canals that had been built in his native Fukuoka, southwest Japan, more than 200 years ago without the aid of modern equipment.[5] Nakamura built or restored nine canals, irrigating 16,000 hectares and supporting the livelihood of 600,000 people. It turned the area into lush forests and productive wheat farmlands.[2]
