In Shahdad, the small town right at the margin of lut desert edge, there is an old water mill dating back to Qajar era. People from different areas of Kerman came to Shahdad to grind their corns like wheat or barley.

There are two deep shafts, rooms, stocks, and a watching tower. It is located in the old part of the town viewing desert. It is exciting to know how small amount of water was acumulated in a deep shaft to make the upper heavy stones move to change the corns into powder.

It is interesting to see how people of the past struggled to provide flour to bake bread. How the water mill worked is a matter of technique in a deserted area.

The tourists who order Kalut tours can order this under Shahdad category of tours.
