Abstract

Iran taking into account its locational properties, its presence in arid and semi-arid region, has encountered with some difficulties regarding provision of fresh water. This in turn, has led to tough nature of ranchers' livelihood, low livestock management, and inefficient feed-lots.Iranian ancestors through their provocative insights and thoughts and subsequent innovations namely indigenous water construction projects have overcome water shortage problems. These projects were designed to catch and retain rain water to be used during subsequent dry periods.In some part of the country taking into consideration their climatice specification, these constructive projects are the only possible alternative as far as the human and live-stock useage are concerned. Even though, these indigenous water development projects are not as popular as in the past, but it could well applied to arid & semi-arid regions for creation of fresh-water. Sathe Saighal (surface run off passage), Abanbare Sangi (stony water reservoirs), Sang-Ad (small-stony container to be used by livestock), chahe Maldary (wheeled well), Abanbar Ashayeri (nomad's water reservoir), Chele pad (water reservoir covered with compacted mud, Ashayeri Pond (nomad's pond) are among the list of these WATER CONSTRUCTIVE PROJECTS. Their application well justified, taken into account the country's vast PASTURE area and climatic peculiarities. One may argue that improper PASTURE management would result in shortage of fresh water for human and live-stock uses. This could well be exemplified in winter PASTURE and some of summer PASTURE which force normads to do early migration. Thus in these circumstances, these kind of indigenous constructive water projects would consider as an appropriate alternative. These projects could be promoted through hybriding indigenous knowledge with up-date official one in order to be adapted with arid geographical conditions.This study first tries to introduce indigenous water-catchement, retainment projects in ARID AND SEMI-ARID REGIONS of FARS province and second to propose some improvement measures.
