WATER REALMS

WATER REALMS is a unique book that surveys water management and technologies in ancient societies. From the flushing toilets of ancient Crete to the qanats of Persia, aqueducts of Rome, cascading tank systems of Sri Lanka and the great baths of the Indus Valley to the eel traps of southern Australia, ancients on all continents were managing water in unique ways. Without adapting to climate change, modern civilization may go the way of the Mayans or Mesopotamian cultures who disintegrated when the water ran out. Table Of Contents includes: The Minoan Waterworks; Case Study—The Tunnel Of Eupalinos, Samos; Sicily; Etruscan Waterworks; Aqueducts; Roman Baths; Case Study—Aqua Sulis; Case Study—The Baths Of Caracalla; Flood Control Systems; Hydraulic Works In The Provinces; Case Study—The Pont Du Gard, France; Late Roman & Byzantine Technologies; Case Study—The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon; The Persian Qanat System; Case Study—The Palace Of Persepolis; Khmer Empire; Case Study—The Dujiangyan Irrigation System; Hohokam Water Works, Case Study—Teotihuacan; Case Study—The Puquios Of Peru; Sardinia Wells; Nymphaea; Celtic Wells; Ancient Fish Traps; more. There are tons of illustrations in this fascinating book!
