Modern Use of Traditional Rainwater Harvesting Practices: An Assessment of Cisterns' Water Supply Potential in West Mani, Greece

Theano Iliopoulou et al.

Summary: Water has played a crucial role in driving human civilization, with early civilizations thriving in areas with abundant water resources. The invention and development of hydraulic infrastructure came later, as a response to the expansion of human populations in water-scarce regions. This study focuses on the use of cisterns in the water-scarce area of West Mani and evaluates their potential to support modern water supply needs. The findings suggest that restoring and utilizing cisterns can serve as a sustainable complementary water supply source, reducing drinking water costs and enhancing resilience against water shortages. Furthermore, the study highlights the connections between hydroclimate and history in the region and emphasizes the cultural value of reviving and preserving this traditional practice.
