Today, knowledge in the field of soil and water in necessary, and due to its good performance and in particular ensuring consistency and maintaining ecological balance, support and participation of the people is important. In recent years, we will need it to access technology and know-how to collect and compile appropriately given the importance of indigenous knowledge. For indigenous knowledge to be able to meet many of the needs of growing communities and sustainable use of limited resources, it will be naturally needed. To achieve the proper knowledge, indigenous knowledge is possible only through a combination of formal knowledge. So in the current situation, it is essential that any action to collect and utilize indigenous knowledge and combine it with modern science be done. Due to climatic constraints, several measures have been carried out on the use of water and soil resources and exploitation of rain in the Hormozgan province, Iran. It is typical Nezoo recharges wells, which are in fact part of a flood management system. It exists as a series of dams and erosion control structures and recharge wells in the Gazir village of Bandar Lengeh. The age of the system is unknown, but it may be more than a hundred years old. However, this system exists in many areas of the plains and in fact, the past of this country's science and technology showcase in conjunction with indigenous knowledge watershed management and rainwater harvesting. In fact, this collection is a unique collection in the province and is rare in Iran. The system has been fully operational until about 50 years ago, according to local resident, but now only a part of it works. Hundreds of years ago, local people have been living in the desert, due to the droughts and geological formations (which indicate that  the quality of water is poor) have developed a method that brings water to groundwater aquifers directly. Today, they recharge groundwater using indigenous knowledge and combining it with modern science. The result of this combination has been improved the quantity and quality of groundwater. So that the electrical conductivity of water from has declined from 7000 to 3000 &mus /cm over 2 months and   water wells downstream are sweeter and they have reinforced the water table.
