Due to limitations in sweet-water resources in Hormozgan Province, the inhabitants or immigrants were compelled to build water reservoirs, or dig wells for this purpose. The most renounced of these are: Bibi Water Reservoir, Qeshm The first water reservoir in Qeshm was constructed in the year 1202 A.H. by the spouse of Sheikh Abdollah, (ruler of the times). Its ceiling has been repaired for several times. The architecture of this water reservoir is interesting. Galehdari Bath, Bandar Abbas The same is the only historical bath in Bandar Abbas, and there is a strong possibility that this be related to the Safavid period. This bath is located in the Eivazi vicinity of the city. During the Qajar era, this bath was endowed to the Galehdari Mosque by Haj Sheikh Ahmad Galehdari. The structure is rectangular in shape and has small and large domes. Kharbez Water Reservoir, Qeshm The above mentioned is located near the archeological city of Kharbez, southwest of the Qeshm Island, between the city and a temple known as Mehri. This large reservoir is a remnant from the Sassanid era. The same was in a state of ruins, but in recent years has undergone repairs to a greater extent. Other Baths and Water Reservoirs, Hormozgan The Portuguese well and the wells of Bandar Laft can be mentioned as other water reservoirs in Hormozgan Province. |
