Description
Near the village of Mayan, Iran, unidentified villagers are harvesting building materials from an ancient caravan station to construct a standpipe for a well. The shallow well was constructed with the assistance of the Point Four program and the Technical Cooperation Administration so that villagers would have a better source of clean water.
