Here is a nice video on qanats:
"The Qanats of Iran"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyfj6sZVZEA

It would seem that a keyline system and qanats would be a perfect combination. I wonder if this has ever been tried. At least upslope water infiltration providing water for the origin of the qanat could be improved with development of a keyline system on slopes above the first qanat borehole.

Great soundtrack with the video.
