Revival of traditional water supply systems in the regions bordering the Persian Gulf Pourjafar Mohammadreza* * Tarbiat Modares University Residents of the islands and warm coasts of the Persian Gulf have learned through experience how to collect floods, where every drop of water is valuable, through traditional systems and sustain life in this land for many years. In this article, first, the traditional system of collecting surface water (rain) is introduced. Then, the current status of this traditional system and the problematic issues that affect its optimal performance instead of its development are mentioned. Finally, after analyzing field observations, solutions and recommendations for the maintenance and revival of this system with traditional value are presented. In this way, the wasting of thousands of cubic meters of fresh water, which plays a vital role for drinking and green spaces in the region, will be prevented.

An example of these cases regarding the rainwater collection system to address the problem of fresh water shortage in the coastal regions of the Persian Gulf is noteworthy [1].
Therefore, considering the water scarcity problem in about 2043 kilometers of the coastal regions of the Persian Gulf, special attention must be paid to the maintenance of the traditional fresh water collection system [5].
Characteristics of the natural environment, ecosystem, settlement factors The coasts of the Persian Gulf are among the very hot regions of Iran, such that the maximum average temperature in Bandar Abbas does not fall below 23 degrees Celsius, which pertains to the month of Dey. Tir and Mordad are the hottest months of the year, and the temperature exceeds the 47 degrees Celsius mark [13].
The natural environment of the Persian Gulf coast (the study area) possesses characteristics that have provided settlement factors in the region.
A network of seasonal streams (flood channels) that flow from the heights of the Zagros and other elevations toward the sea are, due to bringing fresh water to the region, among the other characteristics of the Persian Gulf coastal environment that are effective in population settlement (Figure 2).
The inhabitants of this region have learned through experience how to control floods, where every drop of water is precious, and guide them through seasonal streams toward the constructed ab-anbars and palm groves, so that this life-giving resource, the shortage of which is clearly felt, can be used to the maximum extent possible.
