A History Of Water Cistern Engineering Since The Ancient World The use of water cisterns has been traced back to the neolithic age; this paper thus presents a brief historical development of water cisterns worldwide over the last 5500 years. Valuable insights into ancient water cistern technologies and management are provided, highlighting their characteristics of durability, environmental adaptability, and sustainability. a comparison of the water technological developments in several civilizations is undertaken.
Ancient Water Technology From Persia Environmental Cistern The advanced water engineering techniques of ancient civilizations, such as the roman aqueducts, persian qanats, and indian stepwells, showcase the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancestors. This paper is not an exhaustive presentation of all that is known today about water cisterns, but rather provides some characteristic examples of cistern technology in a chronological manner extending from prehistoric times to the present.

Ancient greece has a long history of advanced water management and distribution. this is in part because of water scarcity due to both the dry climate and the larger than normal distance of greek settlements from major bodies of water (koutsoyiannis et al. 2008). From the advanced drainage of mohenjo daro to the monumental aqueducts of rome, and from sacred temple baths to ingenious underground cisterns, buried water systems remind us of the ingenuity of our ancestors. This paper is not an exhaustive presentation of all that is known today about water cisterns, but rather provides some characteristic examples of cistern technology in a chronological manner extending from prehistoric times to the present. Because of the methodology of water acquisition (rainwater harvesting), most cisterns of that period were supplied by rainfall runoff, but there are several examples in which spring water was stored in the cisterns, such as at the sanctuary of epidauros.
