Throughout history, it has been very common to transfer underground water to the surface. Qanats, deep wells, semi-deep wells, and handmade wells have been among the methods used to that end. Drilling deep and semi-deep wells started in 1940s in Qayenat and gradually, but rapidly and irregularly, increased in all plains, especially in Qaen plain. Irregular drilling of wells has caused environmental problems in this plain. The main purpose of the research was to study the environmental effects of deep and semi-deep wells on rural residential areas of Qaen plain. The research was an applied, descriptive-analytical one. The results showed that improper exploitation of groundwater resources in Qaen plain as a result of digging deep and semi-deep wells has caused environmental problems in rural residential areas, including drying old qanats, drop in aquifer level, and decreased quality of water resources. In fact, too many wells in Qaen plain have disrupted the balance of the environment, hence high instability in space human settlements including rural areas.
