"Underground Aqueducts Handbook offers the first synthesis on aqueducts, including those conveying water and those tapping groundwater. This is the most comprehensive review of aqueduct technology as it concerns most continents and most periods, from prehistory to the present day, thanks to a multidisciplinary approach. It underlines the necessity to preserve and reuse, or redevelop, such sustainable technologies in the global context of aridification and increasing need for water supply."
