چکیده:
Iran is located in an arid region in terms of climate, and its rainfall is very low. Furthermore, in terms of climatic conditions, the regions of the country are very different from one another. With the exception of the north and west of the country, a large part of Iran faces water scarcity, and water, as a precious element, in addition to having vital value, is considered a very important factor in economic development. Therefore, this has provided the necessary grounds for Iranians to invent reservoirs for collecting water according to the conditions of each region. These reservoirs have different names in different regions. In the studied region, they are referred to as 'Ab-anbar' (water cistern). In this study, first the definition of the Ab-anbar and its history are addressed, then its architecture, and finally its cultural, social, and economic functions.
