Abstrakt: The cultural heritage of the different regions demonstrates the identity of individuals who have lived from the past to the present. Today, with the development of cities, some of these cultural assets have been forgotten or are being destroyed. Therefore, documenting this worthy heritage is vitally important for preserving, conserving, or introducing to the future. One of these assets is extensive and stretched out the historic water supply systems to access water from far distances for agricultural and residential targets. In this study, one of the remaining components of the water supply system of Dezful city in Iran has been studied. For this purpose, the remaining parts of the city's water supply canal have been examined which was a part of a large complex. For modeling, this structure, a field study and a three-dimensional model based on multi-image photogrammetry have been carried out. Reverse engineering has been used by modeling a simulation of water movement in the canal to recognize designing the structure and using local materials of this historic built environment. In addition, the current condition of the canal is simulated for examining the deformation of structural changes over time. These analyses help to understand the designing process of the monument and how the natural environment and local materials have been exploited to create such structures. These findings could be of great help to restoring and refurbishing this extended and spread-out built heritage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
