Persian gardens are known around the world for their unique style, with the watering system as one of their main features displaying great appetency for showing and using water. Since Iran is in an arid region, one of its main goals would be to create better microclimates for its inhabitants, making water streams necessary for its existence. Water, with its various qualities such as the ability to create and sustain life, brightness, cleanliness, light, stillness and motion, brings forward many feelings in the human spirit. Moreover, its various running structures such as brooks, streams, rivers, and fountains provide mental comfort as well as technical functions. It is thus seen in several representations of human-made structures, especially in relation with gardens. This paper aims to prove that water is not only used as a symbol of cleanliness and motion in Iranian gardens, but it is also considered to be a basic compositional and spatial element.
