| Abstract | This research explores a new method for the study of urban hydrology and hydraulics at the ancient Maya site of Palenque in Chiapas, Mexico. The conceptual hydrologic framework together with modern digital terrain, landcover class and soils are used to create virtual assessments of how various climate and landuse scenarios may have impacted the long-term hydrology and streamflow conditions for the Palenque watershed and urban center. The utility of understanding how landscape alteration and climate affect a watershed’s function and output is a critical component of modern and ancient water management studies. In this study we evaluate the hydraulic design of the water management features at Palenque against extreme meteorological events over 100 year periods during Maya occupation. We pose the question: How successful were the Maya in coping with droughts, floods and water supply that evolve from their own hydraulic designs and urban hydrologic manipulations? The hydroarchaeological method demonstrated here is shown to be a plausible strategy for evaluating the impact of Maya water manipulation strategies on urban development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
