Description
The Cultural Dynamics in Water Management from Ancient History to the Present Age
focuses on exploring the idea of water culture and how water culture has been generated
from water management and social life. It discusses the structure, attribute, type, and the
dynamic mechanism of water culture theoretically. It also deals with its diversity and practice
in water management with cases from twelve countries, geographically covering most
continents of the world.
This book is divided into five main sections which include the theoretical discussion of water
culture, the historical water culture, the water culture and water management in indigenous
societies, the cultural role in local water management, the water cultural practice in
the present age using the case of water museum, etc. It is based on a historical and
geographical approach to exploring the cultural dynamics in water management. It shows
how people abide by their culture to manage water in ancient society and in indigenous,
local, social, and urban society. This helps to provide an in-depth understanding of the
cultural dynamics in water management to bridge the cultural idea of water management
from history to the present and to the future.
This book highlights that technical and engineered ways are not enough to solve water
problems and achieve water sustainable management if we neglect the cultural dynamic
role. Successful water management is always based on the culture from history and this is
likely to continue so as to achieve better water management.
