Mays. 330 $aEvolution of Water Supply Through the Millennia presents the major achievements in the scientific fields of water supply technologies and management throughout the millennia. It provides valuable insights into ancient water supply technologies with their apparent characteristics of durability, adaptability to the environment, and sustainability. A comparison of the water technological developments in several civilizations is undertaken. These technologies are the underpinning of modern achievements in water engineering and management practices. Naturally, intensification of unresolved problems led societies to revisit the past and to reinvestigate the successful past achievements. To their surprise, those who attempted this retrospect, based on archaeological, historical, and technical evidence were impressed by two things: the similarity of principles with present ones and the advanced level of water engineering and management practices. 517 1 $aEvolution of water supply through the millennia 606 $aWater-supply$xHistory 606 $aWater-supply engineering$xHistory 606 $aWater use$xHistory 606 $aWater resources development$xHistory 615 0$aWater-supply$xHistory. 615 0$aWater-supply engineering$xHistory. 615 0$aWater use$xHistory. 615 0$aWater resources development$xHistory. 676 $a628.109 701 $aAngelakis$b Andreas N$0871442 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910311933803321 996 $aEvolution of water supply throughout the millennia$94196877 997 $aUNINA
