I don’t know for sure, but I suspect there’s a river down in that valley, and that irrigation is used to get the water from the river to the fields around it. Barring that, there could be underground water coming to the surface, but I doubt there’s much in the way of well drilling for water (other than personal/village wells) the way you find in Eastern Colorado and Nebraska, for instance.
He went to Afghanistan twice. It’s a long story, though. You can find out about the first story by going to S&R and searching for Connor’s name. He’s not in Afghanistan these days. He’s in Pakistan. No, he’s not in the service.

Am I looking at the natural effects of a river or irrigation (or both)?

It sure is stark, isn’t it? I imagine there are developers in Colorado who’d see the pic and think hey, we could put a golf course down there….
What brought Connor to Afghanistan? Is he in the service? Is he home safe?
