In the ancient times, they inhabited Ma'rib, the capital city of the Sabaean Kingdom in modern-day Yemen. Their lands were irrigated by the Ma'rib Dam, which is thought by some to have been one of the Ancient World Wonders because of its size. When the dam collapsed for the last time (c. 570), a large number of the Azd tribe left Yemen and immigrated in many directions. Azd is also a widely used male name in Yemen.

AZD, the sister of PRD, ruled Iran as the second queen regnant from 631 to 632 when Hormuz V took over.

Systematic AZD solutions can be developed by integrating holistic source reduction planning, including considerations for multiple sources, composite solutions and life cycle process and facility optimization.
A less-than-optimal AZD target might be to pursue a 50% reduction goal, and a beyond-optimal AZD target might be to pursue a 90% or 100% wastewater reduction goal.
A particular approach may be able to meet the primary AZD performance requirement (e.g., 90% acid reuse) but may present implementation problems caused by other aspects (air discharge requiring ventilation system, permitting, etc).
