The Grishk Dam is located on a canal next to the city of Grishk in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. It is a gravity dam with a hydroelectric power plant. About to the northeast is the Canal Intake Structure, which provides water from the Helmand River to Grishk Dam.
A 2003 technical journal noted, that the Grishk power plant was commissioned on an irrigation canal in 1945, and had two damaged and obsolete 1.2 megawatt units which would cost US$3 million to repair.[1]
