Economics of Hydraulics: Persian Qanats and Roman Aqueducts
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines how governance models shaped water management in ancient Persia, the Roman Empire, and medieval Europe, focusing on qanats and splendour fountains. It explores how each civilization’s societal needs influenced their water infrastructure. The study highlights how environmental challenges led to adaptations in governance and engineering. These water systems were both functional and symbols of power. The research reveals the diverse approaches to water management across these cultures.
