The aim of the GWES project is 1/ to consider extreme events (natural and man-induced) that could adversely influence human health and life, 2/ to support countries repeatedly affected by such events in the setting up of emergency plans and mitigation schemes to secure drinking water supply, and 3/ to identify in advance potential safe groundwater resources which could temporarily replace damaged water supply systems. The results of this project will allow countries to minimize the dependence of threatened population on vulnerable drinking water supplies. Groundwater bodies are naturally less vulnerable and more resistant than surface waters to external impact. Deep aquifers naturally protected from the earth surface by geological environ- ment should be therefore, identified and evaluated.

  • TJG-Mar 17-Yazd
    Tuesday, March 17, 2015 Jakarta Globe Life & Style 23 In Yazd, an Eternal Flame Burns Bright Wahyuni Kamah visits the Persian desert city at the heart of an ancient and intriguing religion arrived at the main bus terminal in Yazd, the capital of the eponymous province in Iran, at night, and immediately I had the impression of a city that was wide sprawling. There were no high-rise buildings visible, Iand the city stretched out flat and low. I couldn’t wait until day broke to see and explore the city, located about 630 kilometers southeast of Tehran. Yazd was the center of Zoroastrianism when the Sasanian Empire (224 to 651 C.E.) ruled Persia, and takes its name from Yazdegerd I, one of the rulers of the dynasty, who reigned from 399 to 421. Zoroastrianism is an ancient mono- theistic religion founded more than 3,500 years ago by Zoroaster (or Zarathustra), and was the predominant faith during the Sasanian era. I wanted to know more about it, so the next morning I hired a taxi to take me to the Towers of Silence, among the last remnants of that time. Located in the middle of the country and surrounded by deserts — Dasht-e- Kavir to the north and Dasht-e-Lut to the The Towers of Silence, top, in the desert outside Yazd served as funerary structures for the south — Yazd is the driest city in Iran. As ancient Zoroastrian faith, which is still practiced in Yazd.

Relief in this province is rooted in the ancient geology history of Iran and the world. From the most ancient structures of the geology in the world (Precambrian) to the newest ones (Holocene) are seen at a distance which is less than 100 km in this province. We can rarely see very various ecotourism attractions such as deserts, salt playas, sand dunes, Qantas, glacial circuses, spring, karstic caves and kalouts in the other areas of the world in a small distance away from each other. Therefore this province can have special status in ecotourism industry because of its attractions and developing this industry will result in socio-economic advancement and an increase in the employment rate in Yazd province.This research attempts to consider ecotourism attractions briefly in Yazd province and introduce available potential abilities in this field.

  • Local Architecture: Using Traditional Persian Elements to Design for Climate in Yazd, Iran
    Local Architecture: Using Traditional Persian Elements to Design for Climate in Yazd, Iran by Sepideh Sohrabi Mollayousef A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Architecture in M. Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Sepideh Sohrabi Mollayousef 1 ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to research and study vernacular architecture in Yazd. Additionally, this study will explore the social and environmen- tal bases of the traditional Yazdi house. In order to develop a cohesive understanding of contemporary issues in Iranian design, a variety of resource materials will be drawn on, including journal articles, reports, books, and field studies. The thesis will culminate in a project to design a large-scale master plan and schematic housing layouts for a residential complex at Yazd University that will house professors and their immedi- ate family members. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to express my gratitude to my supervi- sor, Prof. Johan Voordouw, who has supported me with his patience and knowledge whilst allowing me to develop my research.
