        With the formation of the Urartu state in the first half of the first millennium BC, which has ruled in northwestern Iran and eastern Anatolia and a part of today's Caucasus region, very significant changes in the way of managing water resources emerged and Many irrigation systems were built with highly advanced scientific and technical principles to provide water for drinking and agriculture. The main reason for all this progress should be seen in the features of natural geography and human factors that have led the rulers of Urartu government to build water supply facilities such as dams, artificial lakes, water storage and canals. Over time, the way they were built has gone through an evolutionary process to the point where archeological findings related to the water structures of Urartu have caused that state to be referred to as "the greatest hydraulic civilization of the ancient world".

        Iranians have sanctified water in various ways. Either in the selection of the goddess Nahid as the guardian of water in ancient times or by celebrating it by setting up numerous water storages and with magnificent facades in different regions in the Islamic era. However, Nader shows us a different type of water storage in Kalat (northeast of Khorasan). He ordered the construction of numerous storage ponds (360) in the valleys around Khesht and Gro in a stepped manner. Of course, in this way, it works in harmony with the natural conditions of the region. His water supply facility in Kalat was also done with clay and stone canals, and the water of Qarasu was moving in the fountains around Khurshid mansion for a while. Manuscript profile

        Since the beginning of the spread of Islam, educational activities, including teaching calligraphy and writing, were carried out in mosques, and the time to deal with it was in a way that did not cause problems in performing religious activities. The expansion of various educational and religious activities led to the formation of schools to teach religious sciences and other related sciences. In Iran, schools were mainly built in two ways, either as a part of mosques, the functions of mosque and school were combined in one building, or they were built as an independent unit for students to study and stay. The peak period of attention to the construction of mosques and schools should be considered the Qajar period, when the largest number of this type of building was built in Tehran, the capital city. The Filosuf al-Dawlah mosque-school, which combines the main functions of a mosque and a school, belongs to this period. This building was built as a part of Seyed Ismail complex in the heart of Chalmaidan neighborhood. Manuscript profile
