Abstract: Due to increasing water crisis, water security is becoming more and more mainstream
and associated with the Sustainable Development Goals and the human right
to water. Water supply, especially for households, becomes more and more challenging.
Looking to the past, several water-harvesting techniques implemented
around the world since ancient times can be found and they were succeeded to
deal with water scarcity and to promote food and water security. Their replacement
by modern techniques not always represents a sustainable solution. The future
challenge is to go further, through an integrative vision that minimizes the environmental
impacts of water use techniques, and the possibility of learning from the past.
In this context, the solutions can be a combination between culture and traditional
knowledge, with modern water technology and its management.We propose looking
at this issue considering ancient techniques for harvesting and storing water for
human supply in small villages, under a pedagogical attitude of learning how to
emphasize the relationship between nature processes and society, from the perspective
of Ecosystem services. Different techniques were analyzed, considering the
magnitude of the infrastructure, the distance to the source, and the type of water
source. A classification framework of ancient water systems was designed. Then,
careful attention was paid to the existing hydraulic heritage of the living Monsaraz
medieval village, located in the south of Portugal, as an example. The resultant
analysis considers both ancient water-harvesting and water-storage techniques in an
urban context so that they could positively answer the contemporary challenge of
transforming water-scarce into water-secure villages, with a focus on rainwater
harvesting.2022-04-21T23:00:00Z
