Mandeh Ab

Mandeh Ab (مانده آب) is a Persian phrase that translates literally to "standing water" or "stagnant water" in English. It refers to water that is not flowing or moving, and which has been allowed to sit for a period of time.

The term "Mandeh Ab" often carries a negative connotation due to the potential for such water to become polluted, harbor bacteria, and breed mosquitoes. In some contexts, it can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation or environment that is lacking in dynamism, innovation, or progress.
