Ovdan is an ancient water reservoir, and its main purpose is to collect and store drinking water. Ovdans, which are very common in the territory of Azerbaijan, are built underground and made of stone and brick. These structures keep the water clean and cool, preserving its quality even during the hot summer months. As civil structures, Ovdan is suitable for public use and is important for supplying water to villages and cities. Ovdans are valuable from a historical and architectural perspective, varying in depth and usually accessed by stairs. In Azerbaijan, some ovdans are still visited today by tourists and local residents.
