Medieval Water Technologies

Medieval water technologies involved various methods and systems to manage and utilize water resources effectively. Communities built canals, ditches, and aqueducts for irrigation and transportation. Windmills and watermills harnessed natural energy to grind grain or pump water. The development of cisterns and wells ensured access to clean water. Castles and towns integrated latrines and drainage systems for sanitation. These innovations not only supported agriculture and industry but also improved public health and urban planning, laying the groundwork for modern water management practices.
