Description

In this book the author explores how with a unique mixture of science and art, the Vijayanagara kings mastered and controlled the water available to provide for the many needs of the population, both urban and agricultural. There is also a relevance to the wider issues concerning the development of hydraulic technology, in general and particularly in the context of urban settlement.
