Produktbeschreibung

Water and Society, through a range of international case studies, presents theoretical discussions on the historical relationships between water and societies. It emphasises the use of historical and archaeological methods to define the nature and sustainability of water-uses and human responses to changing water conditions. Exploring historical knowledge to provide information on present challenges, it highlights the array of solutions and mechanisms societies have developed to deal with water in all its forms. The volume complements and expands a growing body of studies that discuss how ancient water systems can relate to resilience and sustainability in the present and inform the future.
