| 5-2. Cross Sections of the Bamiyan Valley |
The distance from the planned area’s terrace, seen on the left side of the figure, to the Bamiyan Great Cliff on the right side of the figure is about 1000 m. The terrace rises 40 - 50 m above the bottom of the Bamiyan Valley. The height of the Bamiyan Great Cliff at the area of the East and West Buddha niches is 100 - 120 m. The Bamiyan River flows through the center of the Bamiyan Valley. The bazaar runs along the river. The top figure is the cross section between the West Buddha and the site, and the bottom is between the East Buddha and the site. |

| 5-3. Water System Surrounding of the Site |
Snowmelt water flow from the south mountains at the back continues to the west side of the Bamiyan Airport airstrip, travels through the north side of the airport, and then flows to the east at the rotary. Currently, the water from the airport flows to the east of the rotary; therefore, several channels from the rotary to the planned area will be necessary. Plantings are placed along the waterway on the slopes on the west and north sides of the plateau. |
| |
 |
Water system surrounding of the site: The water goes along with the south side of the airstrip of the Bamiyan Airport. |
