Persian Qanat, Ancient water management system in Isfahan Province, Iran.
The Persian Qanat consists of underground tunnels extending for kilometers, connecting multiple vertical shafts to transport groundwater using natural gravity flow.
Persian engineers developed the first qanat systems around 3000 BCE, creating a network that enabled settlements to thrive in arid regions of Iran.
The qanats formed the foundation of agricultural communities in Iran, with local specialists called muqannis passing down construction techniques through generations.
These water channels maintain a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, delivering fresh water from aquifers to surface outlets without mechanical pumps.
The Gonabad Qanat in Khorasan Province extends 33 kilometers underground, reaching depths of 300 meters to access water resources.
