An important reinterpretation of key questions in British landscape development. Scientists, economic historians and archaeologists take a major step towards a holistic history of water management in the agricultural landscape. In each section, ecologists, soil scientists or hydrologists set out the scientific dynamics of each water system. Archaeologists and historians then assess the historical evidence for water management since the Roman period. Considering the implications for current conservation practice, this book will have an effect upon how we manage our historic landscapes.
