Shushtar Historical Waterfalls and Sika Ancient Water Mills:
Around the southern edge of GarGar Dam and along both sides of the river banks, there are 16 ancient water mills, with distinguishable Sassanid architectural style. The water was first stored behind the dam, and then it was channeled to a number of deep wells, and from there a constant supply of water for the mills to grind the wheat and other agricultural products. It still is fascinating to see the early water technology in operation and realize how ingenious was this simple process. |
