The location and arid climate of the Sultanate of Oman necessitated that its inhabitants utilize their physical and intellectual abilities to the fullest in order to avail the most of its limited natural resources. This study aimed to investigate the creative abilities of the Omani people in two areas related to the management of scarce water resources: firstly, the use of celestial bodies (stars and their positions in the sky) to time irrigation at night; and secondly the equitable distribution of water from traditional irrigation systems (falaj canals) based on precise quotas determined by geographical and environmental factors. These two practices are creative and unique to Oman, reflecting the remarkable spatial intelligence of its people. The researcher gathered data by studying 12 falaj systems and their water distribution methods, interviewing farmers and falaj managers who still rely on star positions for nighttime irrigation, and analyzing numerous relevant documents and recent studies. The study identified several novel spatial abilities not previously documented in the literature on spatial intelligence, including: spatio-temporal measurement, spatial insight, morphological analysis of the shapes, and arithmetic estimation. Each of these abilities encompass several sub-skills.
