WATER MANAGEMENT - BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SETTLEMENTS SINCE PREHISTORIC TIMES? abstract
Water characterizes the “blue planet”. It is the basis of life, the life of plants, animals and mankind. The water is unequally distributed on the earth in the framework of the hydrological cycle locally as well as temporally. And when we consider the meaning of water for humans in history the discussion must focus on water itself. The engineering structures and technical elements are nothing but a necessary consequence for the
management of water resources.
