Qanats on UNESCO World Heritage List

Eleven qantas in five provinces were registered on the World Heritage List of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Qasem Taqizadeh Khamesi, head of the International Center on Qanats and Historic Hydraulic Structures (ICQHS), made the announcement in the 9th meeting of ICQHS governing board held virtually on Nov. 25.
ICQHS and the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism played a key role in convincing UNESCO to add the ancient structures on the World Heritage List.
