Water and Health Programme Course 1 - Introduction Water and Health Title Page Water and Health Programme Course 1 - Introduction How to use the course materials: The material is divided into Concept and Discussion sections. Most Concept pages are accompanied by a Discussion page. The Concept page gives a brief overview of the topic being considered and each Discussion page amplifies that overview into a more detailed review of the topic. The simple analogy is that the Concept pages are what you would see on a PowerPoint or blackboard summary in a lecture and the Discussion page is what the lecturer would say in class about that topic (or would provide in written lecture notes). This means that you can use the Concept pages as a quick review of the topics by progressing through them in order using the Arrow icons at the top of the page (or in any order you want) and looking at the Discussion pages to amplify or remind you of the detailed content. This is very useful for a rapid review of course materials. If you mark the level of understanding you have for each topic (from low to high - red to green) , you can then use these measures of understanding to review only those topics that you need to work on further or had difficulty with on first reading. You may also add notes to any page or highlight materials for later study. For Help with the StudySpace software, see the Help Section on the left-hand menu. To see a PowerPoint Presentation on the StudySpace software used in these Water-Health courses see this link. PowerPoint or PowerPoint Viewer (free from Microsoft) is required and PowerPoint Viewer is included for installation from the CD Any page may contain references to extra materials; either on the CD or as an external web reference (URL) (usually marked as Internet Access Required). You can access the CD material directly but you need an internet connection to access the external references. These extra materials and the external web references are NOT required reading but are there for those who wish to look at certain topics in more detail or who want to go to the original sources of material. The CD references are given to amplify the topics and are usually well worth reading even though we will not normally require any detailed knowledge of their contents for this course. You will also see listings of material such as bibliographies and data sources on the internet. We provide these in an attempt to make the courses more useful to you in your career or studies, but knowledge of them is NOT required. They are there to provide reference materials that might be useful to you. In short, everything you need to know for this series of courses is on the CD,, but you have been given extra materials and internet references to supplementary materials for clarification if needed, for later use if it is relevant, or for you to pursue individual topics for your own interest. file:///F|/Dropbox/WaterHealthNewFinal/Course1/discussion/wh001mo001c001d000TitlePage.html[11/3/2014 5:18:27 PM] Water and Health Title Page Water and Health Programme Introduction to the Programme The Water and Health Programme consists of a number of individual courses addressing the many issues surrounding the relationships between water and the health of people and populations.

    Dam 1 Dam A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. Hydropower and pumped-storage hydroelectricity are often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Hoover Dam, a concrete arch-gravity dam in Black Canyon of the Colorado River. Lake Mead in the background is impounded by the dam. Glen Canyon Dam Dam 2 A sideview of the Lake Vyrnwy dam, in Wales, finished in 1888 History The word dam can be traced back to Middle English,[1] and before that, from Middle Dutch, as seen in the names of many old cities.[2] Early dam building took place in Mesopotamia and the Middle East. Dams were used to control the water level, for Mesopotamia's weather affected the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and could be quite unpredictable. The earliest known dam is the Jawa Dam in Jordan, 100 kilometres (62 mi) northeast of the capital Amman. This gravity dam featured an originally 9 m (30 ft) high and The Roman dam at Cornalvo in Spain has been in use for almost two millennia. 1 m (3 ft 3 in) wide stone wall, supported by a 50 m (160 ft) wide earth rampart. The structure is dated to 3000 BC.[3][4] The Ancient Egyptian Sadd-el-Kafara Dam at Wadi Al-Garawi, located about 25 km (16 mi) south of Cairo, was 102 m (335 ft) long at its base and 87 m (285 ft) wide.

Mainz am Rhein, Verlagg Philipp von Zabem. Wheeled Vehicles of the Indus Valley Civilization of Pakistan and India. By Jonathan Mark Kenoyer University of Wisconsin- Madison Jan 7,2004 Introduction The Indus valley of northwestern South Asia has long been known as an important center for the emergence of cities and urban society during the mid­ third millennium Be. However, it is only in the last two decades that new and more detailed scientific excavations and analysis have begun to reveal the complex processes through which these urban centers emerged (Kenoyer 1998, 2003, Posseh12002). In this paper I will focus on the early use and gradual development of wheeled vehicles at the site of Harappa, Pakistan, in order to better understand the role of carts in this process of urban development. The earliest Neolithic communities that emerged along the edges of the Indus VaIley around 7000 Be do not reveal the use of wheeled vehicles Oarrige et al. 1995; Jarrige and Meadow 1980), but as sedentary farming communities became established out in the alluvial plain of the Indus river and its tributaries (Figure 1), more effective means of transporting heavy raw material would have been a major concern. In the alluvial plains that make up the core area of the later Indus civilization no rock is available exceptin the region around the Rohri Hills, Sindh.

Keynote lecture: Jean-François Jarrige Indus-Oxus Civilisations: More Thoughts Some thirty years ago excavations in the north-west of Afghanistan, in Tadjikistan and Uzbekistan (Bactria) and later on in Turkmenistan (Margiana) revealed the existence of a so far unknown extensive original cultural complex whose climax could be dated around 2100/1900 BC. Since then excavations of major sites such as Gonur, Togolok or Sappali Tepe have contributed to show the obvious economical dynamism and the great wealth what has been termed by some specialists as the Bactria-Margina Archaeological Complex (BMAC) or by others as the Oxus civilisation. So, some of the few “exotic” objects found at several sites of the Indus civilisation, could be then related to this “Oxus” civilisation and no longer to rather poorly known invaders in the context of what was assumed to be the collapsing process of the Indus cities.

  • Royal “Chariot” Burials of Sanauli Near Delhi and Archaeological Correlates of Prehistoric Indo-Iranian Languages
    ROYAL “CHARIOT” BURIALS OF SANAULI NEAR DELHI AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL CORRELATES OF PREHISTORIC INDO-IRANIAN LANGUAGES Asko Parpola University of Helsinki The article describes the royal cart burials excavated at the Late Harappan site of Sanauli near Delhi in the spring of 2018 on the basis of the available reports and photographs. The author then comments on these finds, dated to about 1900 BCE, with the Sanauli cart burials being the first of their kind in Bronze Age India. In his opinion, several indications suggest that the Sanauli “chariots” are actually carts yoked to bulls, as in the copper sculpture of a bull-cart from the Late Harappan site of Daimabad in Maharashtra. The antennae-hilted swords associated with the burials suggest that these bull-carts are likely to have come from the BMAC or the Bactria and Margiana Archaeological Complex (c.2300–1500 BCE) of southern Central Asia, from where there is iconographic evidence of bull-carts. The ultimate source of the Sanauli/BMAC bull-carts may be the early phase of the Sintashta culture in the Trans-Urals, where the chariot (defined as a horse-drawn light vehicle with two spoked wheels) was most probably invented around the late twenty-first century BCE. The invention presupposes an earlier experimental phase, which started with solid-wheeled carts that could only be pulled by bulls. An intermediate phase in the develop- ment is the “proto-chariot” with cross-bar wheels, attested in a BMAC-related cylinder seal from Tepe Hissar III B in northern Iran (c.2000–1900 BCE). The wooden coffins of the Sanauli royal burials provide another pointer to a possible Sintashta origin.

  • 4 a Decade of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Archreology in India, 1951-1960
    4 A Decade of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Archreology in India, 1951-1960 B. B. LAL INTRODUCTION That the Asian Perspectives has decided to include within its compass the coun­ tries of India, Pakistan and Ceylon is welcome news, and its Editor, Professor Wilhelm G: Solheim II, deserves to be congratulated on his breadth of vision, for there is no gainsaying that archreological discoveries in these countries not unoften have a bearing on their counterparts in the land segregated as 'Far East'. Indeed, is not the influence of Buddhism on various cultural aspects-metaphysical as well as material-ofthe life ofthe people in eastern Asia a matter ofcommon knowledge? Or, is not a visitor to the temples at Angkor reminded of their Hindu prototypes in India? Though no doubt less known, yet in no way less significant, are the simila­ rities between the Early Stone Age 'chopper-chopping' tools (Fig. 2) or the (? Neolithic) shouldered axes (Fig. 6) from India and their counterparts in eastern Asia. In the case ofthe shouldered axes, for all one knows, the influence might have travelled in the reverse direction, from eastern Asia to India. Thus, it is hoped that other readers too of the Asian Perspectives will regard this Indo-Pak-Ceylon 'intrusion' as a not unwelcome event. Elsewhere in this issue is a summary of the archreological work done in India during the year 1961-62; and it is understood that relevant issues in future will also be having similar yearly reviews. Thus, in order that the readers may grasp the significance of these yearly discoveries and place them in the right perspective, it is felt that a resume, of necessity very general in nature, ofthe recent developments in the prehistoric and protohistoric archreology of the country may be placed before them.

What was the lifestyle, settlement pattern and subsistence economy of this early man? • What is Chalcolithic or Protohistory? • What were the highlights of Harappan Civilization? • What is Megalithic period? 2.1 Introduction Prehistoric period means the earliest period of the history of mankind. This period is also called as 'Stone Age', comprising, sub periods, from Paleolithic to Neolithic. The Neolithic period was a revolutionary one. After Neolithic period, copper replaced earlier stone tools. We witness emergence of earliest villages in this period. This period is called as 'Chalcolithic period'. During this period, India was dotted with numerous villages; however, some of them in northwestern part of India witnessed remarkable progress. It is first urbanization of India and known as 'Harappa Civilization'. This period is also known as 'Indian Protohistory'. After this, we find a different culture which was expert in Iron-metallurgy.

  • Pictograph and Petroglyphs of Saravan (Sistan Ancient Asia - Baluchistan, Iran)
    Sarhaddi, F 2013 Pictograph and Petroglyphs of Saravan (Sistan Ancient Asia - Baluchistan, Iran). Ancient Asia, 4: 3, pp. 1-8, DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.5334/aa.12312 RESEARCH PAPER Pictograph and Petroglyphs of Saravan (Sistan - Baluchistan, Iran) Fereshteh Sarhaddi* Rock art is one of the richest cultural resources in the world which depicts the earliest expression of human beliefs and ideas. It is a form of visual non-verbal communication. Rock art is broadly divided into two categories: (a) Pictograph or the pigmented art (b) Petroglyph or extractive art. In Baluchistan both Pictograph and Petroglyph have been identified in great numbers but rock art studies in Baluchistan have been received little attention. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce rock art of Saravan as a rich cultural heritage which needs systematic and scientific study and protection. Protection of rock art sites is itself an important task and proper conservation through technical discipline is most essential. Rock arts are fragile resources of cultural property and it must be conserved, studied and protect and familiarize the general public with the importance of them to be saved and enjoyed for a long time. Introduction was studied by Judith. T.
