The three-day event titled “Water Spring School with a Focus on Qanats and Historic Hydraulic Structures” was held from May 27 to 29, 2025 at the International Center on Qanats and Historic Hydraulic Structures in Yazd. Organized by Yazd Regional Water Company in collaboration with the Center, the program brought together researchers, academics, experts, and water sector professionals from across the country.
With an emphasis on indigenous water governance, the impacts of climate change, traditional restoration of qanat systems, and the social dimensions of water resource conservation, the event offered a comprehensive overview of the current challenges and future prospects of qanats in Iran.
The inclusion of hands-on field workshops, application of modern technologies, and exchange of local experiences turned the school into an effective platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and scientific synergy.
