Water Management in Ancient Greek Cities

Frontispiece. Schubring's map of the waterlines of Akragas, based on his inves-

tigations in the 1860s. Surface drainage is shown by slightly thicker lines than

underground waterpassages, and the rivers at left and bottom are labled "fluss."

The Fluss Hypsas widens out into the artificial (?) lake labled "Fischteich" which

the ancient writers said was used for growing fish and water fowl. The ridge of

temples makes a dark almost-horizontal line below center. Compare with Fig.

15.2. (See p. 209 for detailed description of this map.)
