The Assyrian Method of Irrigation (litho)
8660909 The Assyrian Method of Irrigation (litho) by Wright, Henry Charles Seppings (1850-1937); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Assyrian Method of Irrigation. The high banks of the Tigris have always hindered irrigation, and the Assyrians may well have invented the simple contrivance still in use. The water is raised in a skin ending in a funnel, through which, when at the top, it is discharged into a trough connected with the irrigation channel.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the ancient Assyrian method of irrigation, a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of early civilizations. The scene depicts the innovative technique used by the Assyrians to overcome the challenges posed by the high banks of the Tigris River in order to irrigate their lands.
Intriguingly, this simple contrivance depicted in the print is still in use today, highlighting the enduring legacy of ancient engineering practices. A water skin with a funnel at its end is shown being used to raise water from below and discharge it into a trough connected to an irrigation channel. This efficient system allowed for controlled distribution of water essential for agriculture in arid regions.
The detailed illustration provides insight into how ancient civilizations like the Assyrians harnessed natural resources to support their agricultural endeavors. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and showcases how innovation has always been key to overcoming environmental challenges.
This lithograph from Henry Charles Seppings Wright offers a glimpse into a bygone era while also emphasizing the timelessness of certain technological solutions. It is not just a historical artifact but also an inspiration for modern sustainable practices in agriculture and water management.
