| Description |
Three thousand years ago, precursors of the Aztecs of Mexico built large-scale water management systems. The canal network in southern Mexico’s Tehuacan Valley is the largest known prehistoric water management system in the New World. But that was at a time when water and food scarcity were relatively unknown. However, the 600 million poor inhabiting the semi-arid tropics today have to grapple with poverty and parched lands; degraded natural resources and burgeoning populations; besides a single rainy-season crop grown on degraded lands, and not forgetting the abysmal state of infrastructure and the moneylender giving chase. |
