A couple of thoughts -<br /><br />1) You mention in one of your descriptions that the cisterns were used to collect rain water that was then transferred to temples. What temples?<br /><br />2) I am also interested to learn more about how the different regimes (e.g., Rome, Knights of Malta, France, Britain) conceptualized and enacted water management (and how that might or might not be related to different images of what it means to be an engineer).<br /><br />3) I think it would also be useful for us to know how Malta does water management today, as well as your sense of how the ICEX research on this archaeological cisterns might (or might not) play a role in understanding and/or re-imagining contemporary water management in Malta and beyond.<br /><br />4) Mandy Herrmann's research project may be focusing on water management (specifically rainwater collection) in Africa. It might be really interesting for you all to swap notes.Jane Lehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633737684883582970noreply@blogger.com
