The base of Turkish Republic is culture! Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK/Founder of Turkish Republic
WATER STRUCTURES FROM HELLENISTIC, ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS IN TÜRKİYE Prof. Dr. N. Orhan BAYKAN Pamukkale University, Engineering Faculty, Dept. of CE, Kınıklı-Denizli, TÜRKİYE
This presentation scopes Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine Periods only 330 BC, Hellenistic period; 27 BC, Roman Empire Period; Dividing of Roma in 395, Eastern Roma and after a certain period, in 575, Early Byzantine; in 867, Middle Byzantine and after 1025 Late Byzantine Periods up the conquest of Istanbul (Constantinople) by Fatih Sultan Mehmet (Conquerer Sultan Mehmet) in 1453. ALSO BETWEEN 330 BC-1453 (1,8 MILLENIA)
AncientCivilisations If we look at what they hydraulically realized, we call them also: THEY HAVE BEEN AT THE SAME TIME HYDRAULIC CIVILISATIONS TOO.
Variouskinds of waterstructures of ancientworldamongthem: Capturing; conveying; lifting; distributing; discharing; gaining place and hygienically making secure the city by covering the creeks; prevent the harbors by diversion the creeks; improving and rehabilitating of shores may be counted.
Amongthebenefitsbystudying of ancientwaterstructuresmay be dominantlycounted as follows: • Support to archeologists • Sustainable protection of remains • Evaluating clues for better design, proper selection of materials, earthquake ressisted shape of building and…
And…INNOVATIVE STUDIES • CLIMATE CHANGE Toobtaininformation/cluesaboutpaleoliticclimatechangealongthenearhistory (tocollectsedimentsamplesfromancientwaterstructures), thustounderstand “whathappened in thepast?, climatologicallyand/orsocially” (andalsowhatmayhappen in future?)
CALIBRATION OF EXISTING AND/OR DEVELOPING NEW METHODS Tocalibrate modern hydrologicalmethodsbyapplyingthemtoancientstructures (e.g., togalleriesortunnels) and/ortodevelopenewmethodsbyexaminingtheexistingone’s on theancientremains.

STATISTICAL EVALUATION OF ANCIENT WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING STUDIES IN TÜRKİYE DURING THE PASSED 30 YEARS
The most ancient remains in Türkiye which we for the time being follow up are mostly from 100-300 AD and from Roman Empire.
