Water Use in History
Since ancient times, human ingenuity has enabled humans to adapt to life even in hostile environments. The most important factor was successful management of the available water resources for agriculture, urban supply, and industry. Starting in the third millennium BCE, this course uses case studies from Asia and Europe to explore the hydraulic technologies employed, and to assess past and present social, political, economic, and environmental implications of water management and mismanagement.
