Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Articles related to advanced analyses of the modern water supply and distribution systems involved in hydropower and water supply system support are of particular interest to this Special Issue, together with articles related to the history and development of ancient water systems used for urban and agricultural use by ancient societies in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. This collection of articles together will examine the temporal continuity of millennia of water engineering development, which will be of interest to Water’s readership.
