Yazd and many ancient cities in central Iran have relied on underground diversion channels for irrigation and daily water supply for 2000 years. It is estimated that there are more than 50,000 underground diversion channels in Iran. Yazd Water Museum (Water Museum), located at the busy intersection outside the ancient city of Yazd, introduces Iran's underground diversion channels and exhibits related articles.
The Yazd Water Museum is somewhat similar to the Kaner Well in Xinjiang, where desert residents dig for water to illuminate the miracle of a desert oasis. The well system excavated here fully embodies the wisdom and wisdom of the Iranian Arab people, symbolizes the advanced technology in ancient Arab countries, and is a very great project.
I don't think it's very meaningful here. It's like an old house, just sitting in it. It mainly introduces how the ancient local people got water and irrigation, and the drainage system of the city. It doesn't matter whether you come or not.
We first found the Azd Water Museum across the square road and bought 150,000 rials per person for admission. Like many ancient cities in central Iran, Yazd has relied on underground diversion channels for irrigation and daily water supply for thousands of years. This underground diversion channel is actually the "Kaner Well" that we have seen in Turpan, Xinjiang. It is estimated that Iran has at least 50,000 underground diversion channels, so this water museum can concentrate on the so-called "Kaner Well" once again. This is a Persian courtyard style courtyard, the middle is a pool, the courtyard is not many plants but lush, the surrounding buildings sinking into a large number of exhibition halls. From Yazd's geographic location model to photos of water resources utilization, from tools for digging wells to water intake tools, from historical documents to actual water cellars, the Museum covers a small area, but the content displayed is very rich. At the end of the visit, a group of local young women came to visit. The traditional dress of black robes did not restrain their passionate instinct at all. First we greeted warmly, then we were eager to take pictures. Many of them use smartphones and express themselves fluently in English. After we were invited to take a photo with them, we gave each of them a one-yuan note with an old man's head on it. If they were loved, they would not let go.
