Plot
After drying of the Zayandehrud River, the wells and aqueducts of neighboring villages have also run dry. The agricultural lands have lost their fertility and the villages have gradually emptied out.[2] Most of their inhabitants have migrated to the nearby cities, leaving only the elderly in the countryside. But a few people who are more hopeful are still looking for water in the heart of the Qanats.
