The #Persian #qanat is an ancient #irrigation system developed around 3,000 years ago in #Iran to transport water from underground aquifers to the surface through a series of gently sloping tunnels and vertical shafts.

This system allows water to flow by gravity without the need for pumping, making it efficient in arid regions. Qanats begin with a mother well at an elevated location, and the #water is channeled through tunnels to outlets in settlements or agricultural areas. They support irrigation and domestic use, contributing significantly to the development of #civilizations in arid environments.
