The Tarnak River is located in Ghazni, Zabul, and Kandahar provinces of Afghanistan. The city of Kandahar is located on a plain directly adjacent to the Tarnak.[1]
It rises in Afghanistan's highlands region of Hazarajat, near 33°7′N 67°56′E / 33.117°N 67.933°E, south of the Lomar Pass. The Tarnak flows in a south-westerly direction for around 350 km before joining the Dori River some 30 km downstream of the Dori-Arghastan confluence, and some 30 km upstream of the Dori-Arghandab confluence, at 31°24′N 65°33′E / 31.400°N 65.550°E.[2] The combined waters of these rivers join the Helmand at 31°27′N 64°23′E / 31.450°N 64.383°E, near Lashkargah.[3]
Geography
[edit]The Tarnak River valley is a tectonic trough that runs from northeast to southwest. It has multilayered aquifers and both Quaternary and Neocene deposits.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
