The Sassanids (Empire Divided) Economy Tier 1

Reclaim the Desert

Agriculture in desert regions was chiefly hampered by the general lack of water due to low precipitation and lack of rivers or lakes. To overcome this problem, the inhabitants of arid areas developed the qanat system which involved sloping underground tunnels that transported water to arable land plots. In river regions dams could be constructed to ensure proper irrigation at all times. A famous one was built in the 3rd century, during the rule of Sasanian Emperor Shapur I by captured Roman soldiers. Known as Band e-Kaisar or Caesar’s dam, it made the nearby city of Shushtar into a prominent agricultural centre for centuries to come.
