In A History of Water Engineering and Management in Yemen, Ingrid
Hehmeyer describes the three-way relationship between water, land,
and humans from ancient to medieval and premodern times. As
illustrated in case studies from four sites, individual ecosystems
necessitated different engineering and management approaches in
order to make good use of the scarce water resources for both
irrigated agriculture and domestic consumption. Material remains
and written sources provide the evidence for a comprehensive
examination of continuity and change; technical and managerial
struggles, failures, and successes; the question of technology
transfer; the impact of the religion of Islam on water use and
allocation; and people's reactions in times of severe crisis.
