"World Heritage Irrigation Structures" (WHIS)
ICID recognized world heritage irrigation structures that represented the
state of the art of its time, preserved over hundreds, if not thousands, of
years and demonstrated important lessons for water security, food
security, and sustainable agricultural water management for generations.
Heritage is not for the sake of only heritage appreciation; on the contrary
it has important sustainability lessons for our future survival and overall
continued development. Current civilizations benefited and built on the
past heritages. For example, the shaduf and waterwheel for lifting water
have led to the evolution of various water lifting devices through the
centuries all the way up to the invention of solar lifting pumps.
