Civilisations have always built near water, but China decided to move the water to the civilisation. The Shahe Aqueduct stands as one of humanity’s most daring engineering triumphs: a multi-kilometre
That’s so cool China. Well done 👍. Knowing the engineering our ancient ancestors did with these here in Europe to get a constant flow of water in aqueducts is wild. To think our ancestors did this 2,500 years ago and today and they still stand today working in some cases amazes me.
Will they cover it with solar panels and will feed atnmosperic water generators and pump wells beneath it? They can put rollecoster delivery robots on it.
2:14 Oh come on. Thats not how construction works. The Crane operator job was to place it there on the marked spots. Its the people who lay the foundation that had to make sure that its a 1cm gradient, for every 50 meters.
Meanwhile the UK hasn't built a new reservoir since 1992
