波斯坎儿井

在伊朗干旱的地区，坎儿井这一古老水利系统的支持使得农业和定居成为可能。坎儿井利用重力，将上游河谷的水通过长达数千米的地下暗渠引到下游。构成这个水利系统的不仅有组成这一遗产地的11条坎儿井，还有工人休息区，小水库以及水磨坊。时至今日仍在实行的传统管理方式，使当地得以可持续地平均分配和共享水源。坎儿井是干旱气候下沙漠地带传统文化和文明的独特证明。

Throughout the arid regions of Iran, agricultural and permanent settlements are supported by the ancient qanat system of tapping alluvial aquifers at the heads of valleys and conducting the water along underground tunnels by gravity, often over many kilometres. The eleven qanats representing this system include rest areas for workers, water reservoirs and watermills. The traditional communal management system still in place allows equitable and sustainable water sharing and distribution. The qanats provide exceptional testimony to cultural traditions and civilizations in desert areas with an arid climate.
