Science, Transport and Telecommunications -Persian Water Wheel
Issued in the 1960s as part of the Science, Transport and Telecommunications series of Sharjah & Dependencies, this stamp commemorates the Persian water wheel, a traditional irrigation device that was widely used throughout the Middle East and other arid regions to lift water from wells and rivers for agricultural purposes. For centuries, such water-lifting systems played a crucial role in supporting farming, sustaining settlements, and enabling cultivation in areas with limited rainfall. By featuring the Persian water wheel, Sharjah & Dependencies highlighted the importance of early engineering and agricultural technology in human development. The issue celebrated the ingenuity of ancient irrigation methods and recognized their contribution to food production, settlement growth, and the advancement of civilization in regions where effective water management was essential.
