Abstract

A project to restore the function of an ancient Nabatean flood control system that had previously protected the Plaza of the Treasury (Al-Khazna), Petra, is described herein. The project involves a large, multidisciplinary team, numerous stakeholders, and a difficult setting. It involves training, outreach, documentation, archaeological investigation, hydrological modeling, architectural conservation and rehabilitation. Previous studies had indicated that such flood control systems operate by controlling water flow from the headwaters in order to prevent sudden surges of water. Since Petra often suffers from the effects of flash floods, the Petra Development and Tourism Regional Authority (PDTRA) asked the researchers to explore the possibility of controlling modern-day floods using these systems. This culminated in the partial rebuilding of the flood control system and important lessons on their limitations and how they work.
佩特拉Wadi Hremiyyeh的Nabatean防洪系统
本文描述了一个修复古代纳巴泰防洪系统功能的项目,该系统以前曾保护过佩特拉的国库广场(Al-Khazna)。该项目涉及一个大型的多学科团队、众多的涉众和一个困难的环境。它涉及培训、外联、文献、考古调查、水文模型、建筑保护和修复。以前的研究表明,这种防洪系统通过控制源头的水流来防止突然的洪水泛滥。由于佩特拉经常遭受山洪暴发的影响,佩特拉发展和旅游地区管理局(PDTRA)要求研究人员探索使用这些系统控制现代洪水的可能性。这最终导致了洪水控制系统的部分重建,以及对其局限性和工作方式的重要教训。
