SECTION II.—THE BAND-I-SISTAN AND THE ANCIENT NAME
OF THE HELMAND

Before I proceed to describe the ruined sites, all of later date, visited by me north of the Rûd-iSistân, brief reference may be made here to the Band-i-Siste n. It is the great barrage situated about 8 miles south of Shahristân at the point where the Helmand bifurcates into the river branches irrigating the present cultivated portion of Sïstân. It may well claim some antiquarian interest ; for it is certain that irrigation in Sistân, and with it the occupation of the land by a settled agricultural population, must throughout historical times have depended upon the maintenance of great

 

Irrigation dependent on Helmand barrage.
