Directions for the essay:
For this essay, you need to show an understanding of the Inca Empire and the different techniques they used to control and clean water. You need both a general discussion of the Inca Empire and a more specific discussion of water uses in the Empire. Use details from the sources. Be very thoughtful about your essay! Please show me that you understand the articles, YouTube, and lecture. Integrate the information from different sources. You may find other sources for the essay.
The control of water for irrigation and human use was a critical factor in developing all city-states throughout the world. Today, as the world’s environment changes, water has become a serious concern for billions of people. Very few cultures achieved the level of water control like the Inca and the cultures that preceded the Inca. From the Nasca irrigation system to the cleansing of water in Machu Picchu, the Inca developed water systems from the highest mountains to the coastal deserts.
