VII. Conclusions.$tOverview and reflections : 20,000 years of water and human settlement in the southern Levant /$rSteven Mithen and Emily Black. 330 $aA unique interdisciplinary study of the relationships between climate, hydrology and human society from 20,000 years ago to the present day within the Jordan Valley. It describes how state-of-the-art models can simulate the past, present and future climates of the Near East, reviews and provides new evidence for environmental change from geological deposits, builds hydrological models for the River Jordan and associated wadis and explains how present day urban and rural communities manage their water supply. The volume provides a new approach and new methods that can be applied for exploring the relationships between climate, hydrology and human society in arid and semi-arid regions throughout the world. It is an invaluable reference for researchers and advanced students concerned with the impacts of climate change and hydrology on human society, especially in the Near East. 410 0$aInternational hydrology series. 517 3 $aWater, Life & Civilisation 606 $aHydrology$zJordan River Valley 606 $aWater-supply$zJordan River Valley$xHistory 606 $aWater and civilization 606 $aClimate and civilization 607 $aJordan River Valley$xAntiquities 615 0$aHydrology 615 0$aWater-supply$xHistory. 615 0$aWater and civilization. 615 0$aClimate and civilization. 676 $a551.48095694 702 $aMithen$b Steven J. 702 $aBlack$b Emily 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790086603321 996 $aWater, life and civilisation$93744123 997 $aUNINA
