Water Engineering in the Ancient World: Archaeological and Climate Perspectives on Societies of Ancient South America, the Middle East, and South-East Asia

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Charles Ortloff provides a new perspective on archaeological studies of the urban and agricultural water supply and distribution systems of the major ancient civilizations of South America, the Middle East, and South-East Asia, by using modern computer analysis methods to extract the true hydraulic/hydrological knowledge base available to these peoples. His many new revelations about the capabilities and innovations of ancient water engineers force us to re-evaluate what was known and practised in the hydraulic sciences in ancient times. Given our current concerns about global warming and its effect on economic stability, it is fascinating to observe how some ancient civilizations successfully coped with major climate change events by devising defensive agricultural survival strategies, while others, which did not innovate, failed to survive.

Water Garden Idea Book

2008 y.
Publisher: Taunton
Description: Water gardening is making a big splash in today`s landscapes. Called the fastest-growing part of the landscape industry today, the installation of water features in the landscape is a multi-billion dollar market. It`s easy to see why. Splashing fountains make hot days seem a bit cooler. Basins of water reflect the blue sky, puffy clouds, and colorful fall leaves. Naturalistic ponds and waterfalls attract birds and butterflies to backyards. And tiny tabletop fountains offer soothing sounds that drown out neighborhood noise. `Water Garden Idea Book` brings these ideas to life, providing more than 300 photos of all types of water features--with tips for design and placement so that they become striking focal points or soothing and subtle additions for any setting. From ponds and streams to pools and water stairs, fountains, containers, and bubbling urns, `Water Garden Idea Book` has it all. Special emphasis is given to siting all types of water features and how to install a water… [detailed...]

Water House

2005 y.
Publisher: Prestel
Description: The latest volume in Prestel`s `House` series explores a revolutionary movement in land use - one that doesn`t involve land at all. This study of built and yet-to-be-realised aquatic habitats shows how water has become architecture`s next frontier. Whether they`re floating on top, hovering over, or submerged beneath the water, each of the more than fifty structures examined here demonstrates an innovative use of water resources. Colourfully illustrated with photographs, drawings, and plans, this book includes: Shanghai`s Bionic Tower - complete with its own lake, Biorock - an artificial reef in the Indian Ocean, An undersea hotel where scuba divers can spend a comfortable night, and Sweden`s Ice Hotel, where translucent frozen walls reveal the beauty of the Northern Lights. Each of these projects offer reassuring proof that today`s architects are finding workable and appealing solutions to the problems of shrinking resources and growing populations.

Water Markets and Coordination Failures: A Case Study from Chile

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this study, an operating water market inside an agricultural area in Northern Chile was analyzed. The author collected information from farmers who used this very special market during an extreme drought that lasted three years, and estimated a model of water transactions using real data in order to evaluate how much does this peculiar market worked for them in terms of economic efficiency. Both static and dynamic issues are tackled in a more theoretical modeling to show that the increasing presence of permanent crops (mainly grapes) and coordination failures in investments in this area would make the water market less responsive and effective (in efficiency terms) in the long term. The main conclusion is not to avoid the operation of the water market but to design better rules and regulations for improving its performance. [detailed...]

Water Music

Description: Book Description A photography book with a social conscience, Water Music affirms the intimate connection of water to the rhythms of our lives-and how it is something to be celebrated, revered, and preserved for today and for future generations. Water Music is first a tribute to the inspiration and magic of water. For photographer Marjorie Ryerson, a fascination with water grew from the challenge of capturing on film the astonishing breadth of ways in which water presents itself-the way, for instance, that Lake Superior at sunset turns from deep blue to gold, copper, blazing red, dusty pink, pewter, and, finally, shimmering black. To accompany the dazzling photographs, Ryerson recruited some of the most important names in music. These world-class artists, from twenty-two countries on five continents, and from across the musical spectrum, have contributed memoirs, stories, poetry, music, and lyrics for Water Music , reinforcing the beauty of the images and the… [detailed...]

Water Pricing and Public-Private Partnership

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: There is no question that water pricing and public-private partnership can improve water management practices in the future. However, it is not the panacea as the proponents argue, nor the disaster as its opponents forecast. Water Pricing and Public Private Partnership provides a comprehensive and objective assessment as to what works, where, why and under what conditions, as well as what does not work and why. It also assesses the social, economic, equity and institutional implications. The book provides an in-depth analysis and assessment of the main issues and constraints on pricing of water and participation of the private sector and their affect on water supply in North and South America and Western Europe. With case studies from Argentina, Brazil, the USA and a few West European countries, among many others we gain a comprehensive and objective account of the economic and social consequences.
