But in the middle and lower Hari Rud basin, around Herat, 29 traditional irrigation systems exist with more than 500 kilometers (300 miles) of main canals that irrigate 100,000 hectares (386 square miles) as well as provide water for livestock, domestic use, and municipal supplies.

During the Cretaceous, one of these landmasses, now part of central Afghanistan south of the Hari Rud fault, was sutured against Laurasia.
India was another one of these landmasses, migrating during the Cretaceous and Paleocene across the Tethys; by the middle Eocene, it had begun to collide with Laurasia northeast of Afghanistan, forming the beginning of the Himalayan orogeny.
The Hari Rud fault extends from near the Afghanistan-Iran border on the west to the Wakhan corridor in the extreme northeast.

 Minaret of Jam Archaeological Project 2005
The daunting scale of the task was evident by the end of the first day, so we decided to concentrate on a 50 m strip opposite the Minaret, stretching 225 m from Qasr Zarafshan down to the Hari Rud.
Since this part of the North Bank of the Hari Rud is 150 m long, we estimate that there are over 360 robber holes across this one valley slope – this is the scale of the damage that the looting of antiquities has wrought at Jam.
We have now excavated five small trenches in robber holes and along the Hari Rud riverbank, 60-90 m from the Minaret.
