Located in Aran va Bidgol County, Iran, the Nushabad Central Ab Anbar is a Qajar-era water storage structure built of brick, cob, and mortar that rises to a height of 6.9 meters. This ab anbar—a traditional Persian underground or partially submerged cistern designed to preserve water in hot, arid climates—exemplifies the practical engineering principles of its period. Designated as an Iranian National Heritage site, it represents both the architectural conventions and the water management strategies essential to settlement in the Iranian plateau.
