A new understanding of ancient water management emerges from the study of Pasargadae's Ju-i Dokhtar canal system, revealing sophisticated irrigation techniques used in the eastern Fars plain. The research identifies key components of this historic network, providing insights into its functionality and integration within the broader landscape. By analyzing geological features and historical records, the team reconstructed the canal's layout, demonstrating its role in sustaining agricultural productivity during the Achaemenid period. This discovery enhances our knowledge of Pasargadae's significance as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, highlighting its advanced engineering achievements.
