As water availability, management and conservation become global
challenges, there is now wide consensus that historical knowledge
can provide crucial information to address present crises, offering
unique opportunities to appreciate the solutions and mechanisms
societies have developed over time to deal with water in all its
forms, from rainfall to groundwater. This unique collection
explores how ancient water systems relate to present ideas of
resilience and sustainability and can inform future strategy.
Through an investigation of historic water management systems,
along with the responses to, and impact of, various water-driven
catastrophes, contributors to this volume present tenable solutions
for the long-term use of water resources in different parts of the
world. The discussion is not limited to issues of the past, seeking
instead to address the resonance and legacy of water histories in
the present and future. Water and Society from Ancient Times to the
Present speaks to an archaeological and non-archaeological
scholarly audience and will be a useful primary reference text for
researchers and graduate students from a variety of disciplinary
backgrounds including archaeology, anthropology, history, ecology,
geography, geology, architecture and development studies.
