Medieval Europe. In medieval Europe, social and economic conditions increased the need for replacing manual labor with powered machines. Several reasons have been suggested for the increased use of water power: (1) the rise of monasticism (see below); (2) a shortage of labor brought about by the Black Death and other disasters; and (3) the abundance of good sites for waterwheels.WATERHISTORY.ORG

The oasis at Turpan, located in the desert expanse of northwestern China (PRC), owes it surprisingly lush green environment to the karez (a.k.a. qanat) system of water supply.The basin surrounding Turpan has been the long-time haunt of the Uyghurs (a mixed Turki-Mongol ethnic group that is the majority in Xinjiang Provence).WATERHISTORY.ORG
ABSTRACT: There were elements of London's historic water and wastewater system which were very innovative. In the area of water supply two innovations stand out: (1) the contribution of private capital and enterprise to the construction and operation of major projects and (2) the use of water-wheels under London Bridge to power pumps and lift water for municipal and commercial use.WATERHISTORY.ORG

Terraces are the product of massive highly organized human efforts. They turn mountain slopes into oversized "stairsteps" of narrow fields, each held up by a retaining wall.

History of khettara. An impressive 300 km network of khettara was excavated in the Tafilalt basin beginning in the late 14th century.
