Qanat of Tydros

The Qanat of Tydros is an ancient underground water management system designed to transport underground water from higher elevations to lower areas for irrigation and drinking. It consists of a series of gently sloping channels and shafts that harness gravity to move water efficiently, minimizing evaporation and contamination. Originating in arid regions, Qanats enable communities to access and distribute water sustainably over long distances, even in challenging climates. The Tydros Qanat exemplifies sophisticated engineering that has supported agriculture and settlements for centuries without the need for modern pumps.
