6 Foreword Qanats offer an ingenious solution for water supply in arid regions by creating a flowing stream of water where nature has not so provided. This book offers a ready solution for those who wish to learn more about this fascinating part of our water history and makes accessible to the wider world the traditional knowledge gained from building and maintaining qanats for more than 2500 years. There is much more here than a summary of the nature and distribution of qanats and a more extensive journey through the philosophy, methods, tools, and terminology of qanat design and digging than previously assembled. This most comprehensive book on the traditional engineering, construction, and maintenance of qanats is advised by the authors experiences with qanat scholarship; their affiliation with UNESCO s International Center on Qanats and Historic Hydraulic Structures (ICQHS) and the affiliated Qanat College in Yazd, Iran; and their many years of practical experience in the field with indigenous practitioners of the art and engineering of qanats. The great contribution of this work is the story it tells of the ingenuity and practical skills of the qanat masters who for centuries and generations have cut an uncountable number of tunnels through bedrock and alluvium using hand tools and homespun solutions to problems that would vex the most experienced universitytrained engineers. Where does one begin to dig to ensure that the qanat tunnel will flow with water? How are practical considerations of landscape factored into the design? How are water quality and discharge measured? How does excavation proceed through bedrock and unconsolidated soil, and how is this knowledge of geology and pedology acquired? How are vertical wells and tunnels excavated to maintain proper air supply, light, and water flow? How does one deal with special problems like tunnel collapse, the accumulation of gasses and vapors, and the pooling of water during construction? How are tools and gauges designed, maintained, and used? How have qanats been incorporated into other structures like watermills, reservoirs, ice houses, and irrigation networks? And how are qanats cleaned, extended, maintained through the ages, and incorporated into modern water supplies? vii
7 viii Foreword Engineers will be amazed by the seemingly simple solutions to mining for water and the tool kit and skill set that developed them. Scholars will be fascinated by the practical wisdom of the indigenous qanat masters and the social organization and acquisition of environmental knowledge needed to develop and maintain qanats for so many centuries. The authors have assembled a how-to guide for the design, excavation, and maintenance of qanats. But, much more than that, we can also feel the resolve and instinct of the qanat master and sense the faces and hands that have built these great works.

8 Preface When the Iranian plateau entered a dry period some 4000 years ago and its aridness culminated later in the wake of a climate change, the ancient inhabitants turned to a genius technique which enabled them to stay for thousands of years. In the desert areas of Iran, the best arable soil is situated in the low lands, while the suitable water resources are found at higher altitudes at the base of mountain ranges where a relatively good precipitation takes place. In fact, the qanat system solves this contradiction and makes a link between the two curtail factors of agricultural production: soil and water. Digging through tens of kilometers of sediments with a variety of chemical and physical peculiarities entails a vast environmental knowledge which has been handed down from father to son over the past centuries. The ancient qanat builders had to come up with practical solutions for whatever problem they came across, the problems that related to different fields of science as we have determined today. Therefore, qanat is not only a simple gallery that extracts groundwater, but it used to put humans in closer contact with their surrounding nature and enhance their knowledge about their environment. The Neolithic livelihood was not sufficient to adjust humans to the arid lands where fresh water and arable soil were no longer at their disposal at the same place, but humans came to terms with such a harsh condition by inventing qanat, an underground tunnel which tapped groundwater and took it down to the less elevated lands. Qanat provided the inhabitants with the required skill which guaranteed their survival in one of the driest deserts of the world. In this book we have tried to shed light on the knowledge that humans have built up over centuries in order to construct or maintain qanats, and the figures and sketches are aimed to help us describe what is hidden underground.

9 Acknowledgment We wish to acknowledge all the qanat masters whose expertise and knowledge paved the way for this book to come about. All the information presented in this book has arisen from numerous interviews we have had with them during the past 10 years. Also, special thanks go to Ms. Charlotte Kende and Mr. Mostafa Shafiee Kadkani whose illustrations flesh the book out and make it much easier for us to describe the qanat skills which are hidden underground. We also thank the International Center on Qanats and Historic Hydraulic Structures (UNESCO-ICQHS) and Tamadon Karizi Consulting Engineers (TKCE) for their precious cooperation and generous support. Eventually, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have helped us in a way to shed light on the engineering feat that the traditional qanat masters and workers have created in the darkness of qanat. xi
