Yazd Water Museum, kolahdoozha home

Yazd and many of the ancient cities of central Iran, which for 2,000 years relied on underground water diversions for irrigation and daily water supply, are estimated to have more than 50,000 underground water diversions in Iran. The Yazd Water Museum (Water Museum) at the busy road outside the ancient city of Yazd is the introduction of Iran's underground watercourses and the exhibition of related items.

The Yazd Water Museum is a bit similar to our Kanger Well in Xinjiang, mainly the wonder of desert residents digging the ground to get water to shine a desert oasis. The well system dug up here fully reflects the intelligence and wisdom of the Arab people of Iran, is a symbol of ancient developed Arab technology, is a great project.

I don't feel much meaning here, like an ancient house, just sit in it, mainly introducing how the ancient local people took water and irrigation, and the city's drainage system. It doesn't matter if you see it or not.

We first found the Yazd Water Museum, across the road from the square, and bought tickets for 150,000 riyals per person to enter the visit. Like many ancient cities in central Iran, Yazd has relied for thousands of years on underground water diversions to irrigation and provide daily water, which is actually the “Kaner Well” we once saw in Turpan, Xinjiang. It is estimated that Iran has at least 50,000 underground diversions, so the water museum can focus on the so-called “Kaner Well” for a re-recognition. This is a Persian courtyard-style courtyard with a pool in the middle. There are not many plants in the courtyard but it is lush. The surrounding houses are decorated in sinking buildings into numerous exhibition halls. From Yazd's geographical location model to photos of water use, from tools for digging wells to water collection, from historical documents to actual water rafts, the entire museum covers a small area, but the content on display is very rich. At the end of the meeting, a group of local young women came to visit, and the traditional costume of the full black robe did not restrain their enthusiastic instinct. Seeing us first greeted warmly, then couldn't wait to take a photo, many of them used smartphones, and English expression was quite fluent. After we were invited to take a photo with them, we gave them a one yuan note each with the avatar of the elderly, and they were so loved that they could not let go.
