Water is the most essential element for human life, and life has been on this planet for over 200,000 years because of the presence of water.

Early civilizations flourished because they relied on water for agriculture, trade and living.

 Big rivers were the source of living for them and when population increased and settlements moved away from river and flood banks, canals were dugout.

 People found new ways to store water for use in dry seasons and water management systems were created. Dams, ponds, rain water harvesting, wells and storage tanks were built.

 In modern times water storage and supply was no longer the responsibility of people but governments.

 Cities were built with pipes connecting water from storage tanks to their homes.

 People are no longer interested to find their source of water but depend on government to provide them treated water from river or lake.

Hope it helps......

Answer:

In ancient times human beings used to create wells, ponds, and canals then they invented the proper drainage of aquifers by building tanks, and built structures of water, they did big diggings so that the rainwater is properly stored and can be used at the time of need.

Explanation:

In the ancient world, most people relied on wells, rivers, lakes, and streams as a source of water. As ancient cities grew, they required large amounts of clean water for their citizens. However, rivers and lakes were also sometimes used as places to dispose of wastewater, sewage, and trash.

A large number of tanks were cut in the rocks to provide drinking water to tradesmen who used to travel along this ancient trade route. Each fort in the area had its own water harvesting and storage system in the form of rock-cut cisterns, ponds, tanks and wells that are still in use today.
