Lebanon's Ancient Water Wars and Qanat Engineering
Om avsnittet
We trace the hidden engineering marvels beneath Mount Lebanon that sustained civilizations for millennia. While previous episodes touched on the Mutasarrifiyya and Ottoman reforms, we focus here on the qanats and foggaras — underground channels that brought life to arid slopes. We explore how communities managed Ain al-Mroueh, a critical spring system, and the role of the muqaddam in maintaining these fragile water networks against both natural drought and political neglect. This is a story about survival through ingenuity, long before modern pipelines reached Beirut.
