Won’t Miss #19: Jub (Rainwater Drainage System)

This is what Iran’s rainwater drainage system (“jub” in Persian) looks like:




So yes, Iran’s rainwater drainage system is not underground, but rather, right out in the open! This creates two problems – the first, crossing onto a street, the second, trash.

In Iran, parallel parking is the norm (upcoming post about that!) so when you want to exit a car from the street’s side to go shopping/eating/doing whatever on a boulevard, you have to be careful not to fall into a jub! Some jubs are wide and deep, and the thought of falling in them is scary.

Iran is not a dirty country by any means, but people do misuse jubs as trash cans (as is visible in the first picture!). Not the purpose of jubs!


I will not miss Iran’s out in the open rainwater drainage system.
