KABUL, June 20 (Xinhua) -- Authorities have opened two water supply networks to provide clean water in Afghanistan's southeastern Kandahar province, local media outlet Tolonews reported on Friday.

With a cost of 65 million afghani (923,146 U.S. dollars), the networks provide clean water to over 50,000 families in several villages, the report said, adding that the provincial government will continue to provide potable water for the people across the province.

Afghanistan has been suffering from drought for years, as many cities and provinces, including the capital city of Kabul, have been facing extreme potable water shortages.
