Qanats were definitely magnificent creatures of human being that greatly changed the life in desert areas; Iranians are famous for being the founder of constructing Qanats. The two-story Moon Qanat in Ardestan is one of the best examples built in the heart of the desert in the Persian plateau. There are many ideas about when this Qanat was constructed and who did it but it is clear the UNESCO registered world heritage site of Moon Qanat in Ardestan being among the Persian Qanats is historically valuable. The water flows in each story of the Qanat separately and this is the turning point of this phenomenon; the base were these Qanats were feeded are also two story e4ach serving one. The depth and the length of Moon Qanat in Ardestan are other distinctive features of this 800 year old Qanat. It is intresting to mention that the upper canal enjoys cooler water.
