Abstract

Iran is one of the first countries of the world in which agriculture and husbandry were originated. Thus, like other countries with ancient cultural backgrounds, it possess a wealth of know ledge and experience that is as old as ten thousand years. It is not hence, irrelevant that Chardin the well-known French historian, wrote about the agriculture of the Safavid dynasty that, "No country in the world is comparable to Persia as regards discovery and distribution of water". It should be added, however that Iranian have been expert not only in the discovery and distribution of water, but they were also skillful in the methods of water utilization as well as land reclamation and consolidation. In the traditional irrigation system, there are several devices for capturing and directing spring torrents, one of which is called "Areng sazi". This method is especially used in the mountaneous regions for capturing the spring torrents in order to catch sands, clay, humus and other objects brought by water and then let the water to leak and penetrate into the water reservoir of the region. This device with some minor differences is used in plain and lower altitude and is called "bandsar bastan" or "goorab sazi". Through these devices Iranian farmers were able to prevent or reduce the danger of spring or summer inundation and flood. By the application of these devices they were also able to increase the underground water resources such as springs, quants, and wells. Furthermore by using these devices they caught the humus and other soil ingredient from flood and utilized them for the reclamation of sandy land or used them as fertilizer. Contrary to the above mentioned device, "Tiloon Dadan" or "Tirgaryeh Ab" was a method used for preventing water leakage along the long water routes. In this method some muds and clay were added to water inorder to improve the quality of the sandy lands as well as to promote conservation of water for a longer period of time. This study was carried out through field survey, using qualitative as well as explorating methods.
