THE COVER: The Band-i-Haibat is one of the largest self-damming lakes of
Band-i-Amir (Dam of the King) and sits in the Hazarajat area of central
Afghanistan. The Hazara people believe that Mohammed’s son-in-law, Caliph
‘Ali, built the eight tufa dams and lakes of Band-i-Amir for drought relief.
This lake is located near the Bamiyan Buddhas that the Taliban destroyed
last March. Photo provided courtesy of Jack Shroder, University of Nebraska.
