Abstract
This paper has been written within the context of the session entitled
Water and its effect on shaping the territory: landscapes, policies and
proposals of the conference “Of mountains and water: the wrinkles and
flows of the Earth”. The subject chosen is the study and cartographic
reconstruction using GIS of the aqueduct designed for the city of Verona
in the 19th century and later on till the development of the nowadays
technology network. So geo-historic archival documents are particularly
important not only for the significance of a geo-historic memoir but also,
in our case, to identify the origin of the water network of a city and retrace
the evolution. Nowadays, indeed, the study of water distribution networks
ought to take on greater importance, because their construction/management/
maintenance is vital for urban environments and for the territory in
general. This research has led, moreover, to a reflection on underground
networks which, over the course of time, begin to acquire elements of
ever greater complexity in the relationships between their components.
It becomes comparable to the “circulatory system” of a living organism
whose adjustment, control and maintenance is now entrusted to a series
of techniques and technologies (e.g. the implementation of dedicated
systems) which are increasingly complex and call for both global visions
like those proposed at the end of this paper and a consciousness of specific
implications with regard to specialist skills.
