Qanat or Kariz is basically a wonder of Iranian architecture. It is a kind of a structure that transports water from a far distance to cities and at the same time waters out the surrounding areas of its way without wasting any drops of the springs. It could be said that Qanat is an amazing combination of river and stream and well. The ingenious invention of Iranians in the ancient era is what we could say about it. This is precisely why the UNESCO has registered 11 Qanats as the "Persian Qanat" in the world cultural heritage site. Hasan Abad-e Moshir Qanat in Mehriz is one of these eleven Qanats. The base point of this Qanat is located near the "Gharbaliz" spring, and the sweet and savory water of the Shirkouh Mountains, forms the watershed of the Hasan Abad-e Moshir Qanat in Mehriz. The branches of this kariz finally reach the Pahlavanpur Gardens of Mehriz which has also been registered by UNESCO and proceeds in this garden after a very long route and watering several villages and in the old days the city. The clear water of this aqueduct is very fresh, it is very sweet, and its capacity reaches 200 liters per second in the season. For fun, tasting fresh water from the ancient springs, visiting the green architecture combined with no human damage to nature, or for any other purpose, visiting the beautiful Hasan Abad-e Moshir Qanat in Mehriz is a top priority for curious tourists.
