Traditional Irrigation of Shazdeh Garden Kerman

Another interesting thing about this garden is the intelligent water supply system which is working till today. The greening and irrigation of this garden may seem impossible since it locates in Lut warmest desert of the world. Shazdeh garden is irrigating by the water of a Qanat and the surrounding Jupar Mountains. Moreover, the gradient in the architecture of Persian gardens causes the water to resound to the end of the garden. At the end, it reaches the village near this garden.

The flow of water is in the form of a narrow river with two large pools on both side of it. And, the fountains in these basins cause more freshness in the environment. These fountains are everywhere in Shazdeh garden. But there are few gardens in Iran that use the fountains to such an extent.

Who is the prince of Mahan?

This prince is Abdul Hamid Mizra Nasser al-Dawla, the granddaughter of Nasser al-Din Shah and ruler of Kerman, who finished and built in this garden.
