- Title
Altithermal Climate Change and Groundwater Development.
- Authors
Wood, Warren W.; Macumber, Phillip G.
- Abstract
It is generally recognized that the earliest man-made groundwater structures (dug wells and excavated pits in dried riverbeds and lakes) occurred in several arid and semiarid areas between approximately 10,000 BP and 6000 BP years. What can we absorb about our water resources from this past climate change as our current climate projections are similar to those recorded in the Altithermal? Subsequent climatically induced periods of drying, however, significantly reduced water resources resulting in resource patchiness and more difficult survival conditions to which the population had to adapt or seek asylum in less hostile regimes (hydrological refugia).
