Summary

A groundbreaking doctoral study reveals that the Roman city of Dougga (Thugga) in Tunisia employed a sophisticated, multi-tiered water management system. This system integrated local North African techniques with Roman engineering, ensuring sustainable water supply and distribution across public and private domains. The research highlights the coexistence of indigenous know-how and imperial innovations, offering insights into ancient hydraulic infrastructure that remains relevant to modern water resource challenges.
