Consult the Week 2 Civilization Tour for additional resources.

• How did this society attempt to secure a fresh water source?
• How did the nature of the water supply itself condition the strategy this society chose?
• What resources, labor, and materials were required to build and maintain the tools or techniques required
by the strategy?
• What side effects or potential problems arose as this society developed, established, expanded, or
maintained this water supply strategy?
• Why do you think this water management strategy was effective or ultimately ineffective?
