Ab Anbars

The word "Ab Anbar" is an interesting combination of Ab meaning water and Anbar meaning storage and it was a place to store water in desert to be used all over the year. In the past, in the fall and winter, when agriculture required less water, the clever people of the desert area stored water inside public and private Ab Anbar (also called water reservoir or cistern ) to save it, so that in the summer, they could use. Some of spectacular Ab Anbars in Yazd include the Golshan Ab Anbar, Amir Chakhmaq Ab Anbar, and Shesh Badgiri Ab Anbar.
