Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System - Iran Khuzestan Province
Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System, (Persian: سازههای آبی شوشتر) is an island city from the Sassanid era with a complex irrigation system. Located in Iran's Khuzestan Province.It was registered on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2009 and is Iran's 10th cultural heritage site to be registered on the United Nations' list.
Shushtar infrastructure included water mills, dams, tunnels, and canals. GarGar weir was built on the watermills and waterfalls. Bolayti canal is situated on the eastern side of the water mills and water falls and the functions to supply water from behind the GarGar bridge to the east side of water mills and the channel the water of river in order to prevent the damage to the water mills. Dahaneye shahr tunnel (city orifice) is one of the three main tunnels which channeled the water from behind the GarGar weir into the water mill and then run several water mills. Seh koreh canal channels the water from behind the GarGar bridge into the western side. In water mills and water falls, there are noticeable mills we can see a perfect model of haltering to run mills.
The Band-e Kaisar (Caesar's dam), an approximately 500-metre (1,600 ft) long Roman weir across the Karun, was the key structure of the complex which, along with the Band-i-Mizan, retained and diverted river water into the irrigation canals in the area. Built by a Roman workforce in the 3rd century AD on Sassanid order, it was the most eastern Roman bridge and Roman dam and the first structure in Iran to combine a bridge with a dam.
Parts of the irrigation system are said to originally date to the time of Darius the Great, an Achaemenian king of Iran. It partly consists of a pair of primary diversion canals in the Karun river, one of which is still in use today. It delivers water to the Shushtar city via a route of supplying tunnels.The area includes Selastel Castel, which is the axis for operation of the hydraulic system. It also consists of a tower for water level measurement, along with bridges, dams, mills, and basins.
Then it enters the plain south from the city, where its impact includes enabling the possibility of farming over the area called Mianâb and planting orchards. In fact the whole area between the two diversion canals (Shutayt and Gargar) on Karun river is called Mianâb, an island having the Shushtar city at its northern end.
The site has been referred to as a masterpiece of creative genius by UNESCO.

City of Shushtar was an important agricultural center in southern part of the Persian Empire . Located near Susa, the capital of the empire during the reign of Darius the Great, Shushtar irrigation system was developed 2,500 years ago and reached it's peak level during the reign of the Sassanid King, Shapur-1, 1,800 years ago.
By this time, Shushtar Irrigation System became a hydraulic system comprising of canals, bridges, wiers, flood controls, along with 32 watermills handling different types of grains harvested from 37000 acres of the sounding farm lands.
Shushtar Hydraulic System was built by the Roman Empire corps of engineers who were captured in the Roman invasion of Persia. King Shapur defeated the Roman Emperor Valerian in 260 CD and captured his entire army. He used them to add or improve the existing bridges, canals, dams, and weirs.
Shushtar Hydraulic System was operational (from what was left of it) until early 20th century. Some of the watermills still work, and with a small fee are demonstrated to tourists.
Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System in Iran
Shushtar, Historical Hydraulic System, inscribed as a masterpiece of creative genius, can be traced back to Darius the Great in the 5th century B.C. It involved the creation of two main diversion canals on the river Kârun one of which, Gargar canal, is still in use providing water to the city of Shushtar via a series of tunnels that supply water to mills. It forms a spectacular cliff from which water cascades into a downstream basin. It then enters the plain situated south of the city where it has enabled the planting of orchards and farming over an area of 40,000 ha. known as Mianâb (Paradise). The property has an ensemble of remarkable sites including the Salâsel Castel, the operation centre of the entire hydraulic system, the tower where the water level is measured, damns, bridges, basins and mills. It bears witness to the know-how of the Elamites and Mesopotamians as well as more recent Nabatean expertise and Roman building influence.

سازه های آبی شوشتر - Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System
This interconnected set of waterfalls, dams, canals, and tunnels of Shushtar hydraulic system has an exceptional value and testifies to human creative genius. This site is considered to be the biggest industrial complex before the industrial revolution, and its history can be traced back to the 5th century B.C. This masterpiece was engineered to divert the water of the river to provide it to the city of Shushtar. It's still complete and functioning today. The large scale of the complex makes it exceptional and the blue waters running between the ochre rocks creates a marvellous rendering.

Iran Shushtar water mills 1
In Shushtar kann man mitten in der Stadt am Karun-Fluss noch Reste der einstigen Wassermühlen bewundern. Sie dienten der Energiegewinnung und trieben die schweren Mahlsteine an. Noch heute donnert das Wasser des Flusses durch ein Kanalsystem, welches in qadjarischer Zeit durch die Felsen getrieben wurde. Nach den Mühlen fließt das Wasser in mehreren kleinen Wasserfällen zum Flussbett hinunter.
