Water Engineering and Management through Time

The history of water reviewed in the context of this Seminar will help understand the importance water has had in every possible context and civilization in the past. The ultimate goal of this book is "to learn from history", approaching the problem from a pragmatic point of view, far from the political and social interests which, unfortunately, are usually linked to water. This work will be of particular interest to water managers, politicians, decision makers, and scientists and professionals working in the area of water sciences.
