Ab Bareh

Ab Bareh (Persian: آب باره) is a Persian term literally translating to "water waterfall" or "waterfall". It generally refers to a type of water feature or landscape element common in Persian gardens and architecture. It signifies a cascade or a man-made waterfall often incorporated into gardens, courtyards, and other designed spaces for both aesthetic and functional purposes, such as cooling the surrounding environment. The scale and design of Ab Bareh can vary considerably, from small, gently sloping cascades to larger, more dramatic waterfalls. Their inclusion reflects the historical importance of water in Persian culture, representing life, purity, and abundance.
