The water tunnel, which is located in the old city texture in the Kale Neighbourhood of the Kozluk district of Batman province, was uncovered during the foundation excavation. The entrance of the water tunnel faces north. The water tunnel splits into three branches when you go about 20.00 m south from the entrance. It has been observed that the section opening to the left is closed after 15.00 m. The section opening to the right was closed due to the subsidence of the soil. It was seen that the road in the middle continues for approximately 10.00m and reaches the water source. The entrance part of the tunnel has recently been reinforced with reinforced concrete. Today, water pipes are laid inside the hidden water tunnel and water is carried from the water source. It is also used by local people as a cold storage. It is known as Mızgeft tunnel among local people.
