Qaynargumbaz, Underground water reservoir in Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan

The Qaynargumbaz reservoir features double domes and thick stone walls reaching two meters in width to maintain cool temperatures inside the structure.

The construction of this water storage system dates back to the 16th century during the reign of Abdullah Khan II of the Shaybanid dynasty.

The reservoir demonstrates Central Asian engineering methods for water preservation, utilizing specific building techniques from the ancient Silk Road period.

The facility stored rainwater and melted snow through an underground system, providing essential water supplies during dry seasons in the region.

The structure incorporates ventilation shafts and specialized water taps positioned to prevent surface contamination of the stored water.
