Zarach Qanat, longest conduit for water in world

Qanat is one of the intelligent inventions of the Iranians in face of the geographical obstacles for water shortages.

Zarach is one of the world’s longest Qanats in the Iranian province of Yazd. In 2016, UNESCO inscribed the Persian Qanat as a World Heritage Site.

With a length of some 100 kilometers, Zarach Qanat dates back to over 3 thousand years ago. It creates a reliable supply of water for domestic and agricultural uses in Yazd.
