This book tries to answer the question how different communities in
such an arid area as the Iranian central plateau could have shared
their limited water resources in a perfect harmony and peace over
the course of history. They invented some indigenous technologies
as well as cooperative socio-economic systems in order to better
adapt themselves to their harsh environment where the scarce water
resources had to be rationed among the different communities as
sustainably as possible. Those stories hold some lessons for us on
how to adjust our needs to our geographical possibilities while
living side by side with other people. This work gives insight into
the indigenous adaptation strategies through the territorial water
cooperation, and describes how water can appear as a ground for
cooperation. It explains the water supply systems and social
aspects of water in central Iran. Topics include the territorial
water cooperation, qanat's, the traditional water management and
sustainability, the socio-economic context, the sustainable
management of shared aquifers system and more.
