Abstract
The Qanat is the lifeblood of the villages. This beneficial structure for all, whose invention is attributed to Iranians, has led to the emergence of valuable indigenous knowledge in the water management debate. Iranians, who are famous for their intelligence, hard work and innovation, have left a structure as a memory since long ago, and the stability of this structure has put a seal of approval on all their merits. The values of Qanat as a sustainable and environmentally friendly structure are not hidden from anyone. Preservation of this precious lasting heritage is the least thing that causes the efforts of the past not to be lost. One of these works is the registration of management terms in the distribution of qanat water in different regions.In this research, the management structure of water distribution in Khamsa aqueducts of Gol village, Khosef city, located in South Khorasan province, has been investigated. Information and terms related to Khamsa aqueducts have been collected and presented through interviews with village experts in this field. Words such as: bol, boltaz, dong, tas, finjan, nimroz, taqeh, gunjkhorden are among the local terms used in the studied village in this field. The results obtained in this research showed that the water distribution work of Khamse Gol aqueducts has been done so carefully and thoughtfully that it has an excellent management structure in water distribution.
