Wasserinfrastrukturen und Macht von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart

Hydraulic systems are the visible embodiment of political power and critical determinants of social participation. In addition, they may direct societal progress, in part, through opportunities for profitable development in the hands of experts in management positions. This volume addresses the social aspects of hydraulic systems and examines how power relationships are negotiated by only seemingly neutral technologies.
