Abstract |
|
One of the most unique features of Bidar is the historic "Karez" system (also known as Qanat) which is a water harnessing technology . The "Karez" system in Naubad village, Bidar is of great historic significance dating back to almost 500 years. The karez technology basically taps into the ground water sources (or natural springs) and transports it through an underground tunnel to the settlement, ending in surface canal and/or pools in the village for various uses like drinking, washing, ablution, watering livestock, and also further used for irrigating fields, orchards and gardens. |
