Iran

The Iran per-country section looks very much like being lifted from some existing (academic) material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.57.20.8 (talk) 19:13, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Karez

I'm not sure if the origin of the word "Karez" is Pashtun, as is claimed by the article. The word Kariz was extensively used in old traditional Persian architecture.--Zereshk 10:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Falaj

Why is Falaj given as a reference unless to advertise the company? It should be removed. 145.253.108.22 06:23, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

That's a coincidence. In the UAE a qanat is called Falaj → [1] -- Szvest - ^{Wiki me up ®} 11:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Merge

I agree, it's clearly just two names for the same thing. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 15:27, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Please do not merge this

It is part of a series of articles I am writing about Chinese architecture, the Silk Route, cities along the Silk Route, the geography/geology along the Silk Route, etc. Please let me change the name of the article. This is just one aspect of the city and the Silk Route. Plus, all the pictures are from the Turfan Water Museum, so those will have to be removed. --Mattisse 16:31, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I will rewrite the article

I am only interested in the Silk Route aspects so I will rewrite the article to focus on that more exclusively. I do not want any of the Qanat article in the one I wrote, as it is all irrelevant information to my article plan. I wrote this article because the Qanat article is long and confusing and does not serve my needs. It has so much irrelevant material for my interests that I cannot even make myself read it. I will also change the name of this article, if that will prevent this awful merge. --Mattisse 16:38, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Pictures

For some reason the two pictures that are supposed to adorn the very top of this article aren't visible. And when I click on them, it acts as if I'm trying to upload new images! John Baez (talk) 03:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Not only that, but the diagram of the wind catcher appears to be incorrect. The wind does not flow in to the tower, air is drawn up through the house by the low pressure on the leeward side of the tower.
