Aspects of Scientific Study of Ancient Hydrotechnical Structures
Abstract
This article analyzes the issues of scientific study of ancient hydraulic structures, their history of creation, functional tasks and their relationship with modern hydrological research. The inextricable link between the structures and the socio-economic needs, technological capabilities and natural conditions at the time of their creation is revealed. Also, their role in aspects such as water resources management, irrigation systems and erosion control is shown, and approaches to their study using archaeological, geological and cartographic methods are analyzed. The article shows the relevance of re-evaluating these monuments using modern geospatial technologies, the prospects for their preservation and study as a scientific heritage.
