    The history of Iranian gardens is regarded as the four thousand millennium B.C. The duration of establishing Iranian gardens is observable in semiotics and turneries of Persepolis. The ancient Persian prophet paid special attention to agriculture and gardening. We read that Zoroaster tells Ahura Mazda in Avesta verse 33rd: "who is the fourth person that gets to the top rank? Ahura Mazda replies, "The one who grows the most wheat and vegetables, and plants the most trees, the one who dips the ground and dries the soil (marsh) and cultivate it". (AhouraMazda 1500Bc) Iranian gardens always have been one of the most significant examples of Iranian art, science and taste. They are mentioned in most sources that aim to introduce and describe the cities of Iran. The Islamic world has adopted the traditional gardening practices of Iranians. In some of these gardening practices, the garden is a container and the buildings are located in the middle of the complex. Gardens are surrounded by historical monuments like pavilions. Also, urban open spaces have been used to establish gardens. Gardens have been used as recreational areas, as well as a place for social interactions since the Safavid era began. Such gardens can be found in different regions of Iran, including Birjand, from the east to Afghanistan, from the south to Nehbandan and Kerman, and from the west to the cities of Ferdows and Tabas, which has a desert and a semidesert climate. (Bambang S., Budi, S., & Hermin, W. 2012) In Iranian gardening, water defines the geometric divisions of the garden. The unique feature of Iranian gardening is building river-like streams of water in the heart of desert. Iranians were using natural springs or subterranean bodies of water, Qanat, for this purpose. Qanat is an underground sloping channel. Utilizing subterranean bodies of water which is one of the Iranian innovations to address water scarcity and perform agriculture in dry areas.
