Baladeh Qanat, Ancient water system in Ferdows County, Iran
The Baladeh Qanat consists of 16 active underground water channels and two natural springs that transport groundwater across 35 kilometers of agricultural terrain.
The subterranean water system dates to the Sassanid period and maintains its original engineering techniques for water extraction and distribution through vertical shafts.
Local water managers called Kial coordinate the distribution of water resources among different agricultural zones, following traditional Persian practices of water allocation.
The network of tunnels provides essential irrigation for farming activities in the Ferdows plain, with over fifty percent of water revenue dedicated to community development.
The qanat network employs a specialized technique where paths are lined with clay by a Tirehgar specialist to prevent water loss through ground absorption.
