Matt Herbst: Reflections on Water and Power, from the Ancient to the Contemporary World.
This talk explores water and power in the Ancient World, approaching the topic through the categories of 1) Control (who has sway over the water?), 2) Technology (how is it moved and stored), 3) Equity and Access (who gets it and who does not?), 4) Public and Environmental Health (how does the process impact both?), and 5] Culture (how does it influence outlook and mores?). The talk includes a comparative reflection on the contemporary era.
