The Ayno Maina Dam is located north of Ayno Maina and west of Daman District in Kandahar, Afghanistan.[1] It is a recently built embankment dam for the purpose of providing irrigation water to Ayno Maina. The check dam traps rain water in its reservoir, which is mainly used for watering plants in Ayno Maina.
