Focusing on Asia, Water Societies and Technologies from the Past and Present seeks to highlight the issues that emerge or re-emerge across different societies and periods, and asks what they can tell us about water sustainability. Incorporating cutting-edge research and pioneering field surveys on past and present water management practices, the interdisciplinary contributors together identify how societies managed water resource challenges and utilised water in ways that allowed them to evolve, persist, or drastically alter their environment. The case studies, from different periods, ancient and modern, and from different regions, including Egypt, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Southwest United States, the Indus Basin, the Yangtze River, the Mesopotamian floodplain, the early Islamic city of Sultan Kala in Turkmenistan, and ancient Korea, offer crucial empirical data to readers interested in comparing the dynamics of water management practices across time and space, and to those who wish to understand water-related issues through conceptual and quantitative models of water use. The case studies also challenge classical theories on water management and social evolution, examine and establish the deep historical roots and ecological foundations of water sustainability issues, and contribute new grounds for innovations in sustainable urban planning and ecological resilience. 606 $aEau$xAspect social$xHistoire$xE?tudes de cas$2ram 606 $aApprovisionnement en eau$xGestion$xHistoire$xE?tudes de cas$2ram 606 $aGestion des ressources en eau$xHistoire$xE?tudes de cas$2ram 606 $aWater-supply$xManagement$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01172390 606 $aWater resources development$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01171955 606 $aWater-supply$xManagement 606 $aWater resources development 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEau$xAspect social$xHistoire$xE?tudes de cas. 615 0$aApprovisionnement en eau$xGestion$xHistoire$xE?tudes de cas. 615 0$aGestion des ressources en eau$xHistoire$xE?tudes de cas. 615 0$aWater-supply$xManagement. 615 0$aWater resources development. 615 0$aWater-supply$xManagement. 615 0$aWater resources development. 676 $a333.91 702 $aAltaweel$b Mark$4edt 702 $aZhuang$b Yijie$4edt 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910295749203321 996 $aWater Societies and Technologies from the Past and Present$92292982 997 $aUNINA
