    ok, but the cost of building a quanat is still pretty high and is not trivial to achieve.

    Can’t have water flowing everywhere in a country for this to work.

        But don’t “swamp cooling” systems like the one in the OP not work well in humid environments? Sure, I have running water at home, but I also live in an incredibly humid climate.
