Abstract

 
The residents of the Balochistan region have been using and controlling rain and flood water from remote distances with simple methods, and thusthey have valuable indigenous experience and knowledge. They control the flood in all parts of the mountains of the bases, slopes, hills, and valleys by creating simple earth, rocky and rocky systems, and by creating agricultural land and flood crops for the construction of palm trees, and they provide plots of land and provide a part of their livelihoods. These methods have different types, some of which are abandoned, and some exist and act during rainfall. Considering the importance of this issue, the present researchers look at two examples of them, called "Khosab" and "Darband", with the aim of systematically recognizing these active systems. The "Khoshab" system is located on the margin of rivers, plains and hills, and its components are: stone or earth wall, foam, non-server, flood gate, overflow, drainage and farmland, all of which are built with the indigenous knowledge of the people.
