This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If you go down deep enough the earth temperature is stable at 12 C. But I'm pretty sure that's like thousands of feet down. Geothermal rigs drill 500+ meters (1600 feet) down. Having a hard time finding a source on the stable earth temp though.
I mentioned 6 feet because it's well below the frost line where I am, but I guess in that part of Iran they probably don't have to worry about that.
Mostly I was just wondering if you had found something on how deep those waterways were actually built.
