Draft:Goochoo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Jahrom, eastern Iran, GooChoo (local dialect. Gaav Chah in standard Persian) refers to a sloping space that was dug next to agricultural wells for an ox to walk down while pulling a rope attached to a rubber bucket going down the water well through a wooden wheel on top of two tall columns. When the ox reached the bottom of the goochoo, the bucket would be at the surface level, to be emptied in a reservoir (houze) by a catcher. Centuries old, this process is now replaced by modern methods.[1]
