- W1956357229 abstract "Abstract A qanat system consists of an underground tunnel that conveys water by gravity from highland aquifers to the ground surface at lower elevations. Blended with ingenuity, its purpose is simply to collect and bring underground water to the surface for use. Qanat, invented and originated in Iran more than 2700 years ago, is considered a hydraulic engineering system of an Old World era providing water to settlements since its invention. The overwhelming climate of Iran is arid and semiarid; two thirds of the country area in central, southern, and eastern parts receive an average of about 150 mm of rainfall annually. Yet, Iran is considered a farming country where diverse crops are grown. This remarkable achievement in agricultural development of arid lands has materialized partly by building qanats to tap underground water in regions where surface water is lacking or unreliable during seasons of high water demand. Numerous urban and rural qanat‐watered settlements are vivid examples that not all civilizations were rooted by the sides of rivers. Qanats have helped to transform barren lands into productive assets. Thanks to its simple and efficient technique, the idea behind this sustainable water resource system was passed from one generation to the next and traversed geographic boundaries. Qanat's use is not confined to Iran and has been adopted in many regions across the world." @default.
