良渚古城外围水利工程遗址, Ancient water engineering site in Hangzhou, China.
The Liangzhu Ancient City water system features eleven dams with a total earthwork volume of 2.88 million cubic meters across the landscape.
Built between 3300 and 2300 BCE, this engineering system predates the legendary Yu the Great flood control project by approximately 1000 years.
The water system demonstrates the advanced technological capabilities and social organization of the Neolithic Liangzhu civilization in the Yangtze River Delta.
The dams, measuring up to 5 kilometers in length and 100 meters in thickness, regulated water flow and protected the ancient city from summer floods.
Archaeological findings revealed an innovative construction technique using grass-wrapped mud packages to strengthen the dam structures.
