The Iranian plateau is mostly arid to semi-arid and for the people living in this inhospitable land, having access to fresh water was a matter of life or death.

According to history, from ancient times, optimum use of water, irrigation systems and dam construction in Iran have been practiced even before the formation of the Iranian nation and The Persian Empire. Dam construction, water collection and water diversion to farms dates back to 3500 B.C.

While, “Ghanat”, a system of water conveyance from an elevated water table source by means of digging under ground canals from the source to inhabited low lands and farming areas is an Iranian invention of eons ago and is still in use in parts of the country.

While, Water was such a precious commodity that its transport through open channels was not practiced due to high evaporation in hot and dry land.
