| Abstract;Field research on hydraulic works, in 2000 at Pisac, one of the ancient Inca Remains, defined some of the characteristics. There are four kinds of hydraulic works, that is, channels for ritual, waterworks, drainage, and irrigation in the Inca civilization. The site had at least five canals for water works, more than two canals for irrigation, more than three drainage channels for agriculture, and no channels for ritual. Drainage for domestic wastewater is not found. No technical contrivance for health risk on waterworks existed at the site, so that social discipline with taboo might work for the risk. Their design skill was not excellent on hydraulic works, but high in construction technology. The structure of an irrigation channel indicates that water right may exist. The concept of sacred water was similar to other old civilizations. (author abst.) |
