Remarks on water supply in Palmyra. Results of a survey in 2010

Summary/Abstract: The article provides an overview of the results of a limited field survey of water supply installations in Palmyra and its environs, conducted in 2010. The catalogue of known structures was updated, the main objective being to verify the dating of Palmyra’s water system. The known wells were mapped and the remains of the Northern Aqueduct were documented. The examination of the system of water distribution within the city led to some new observations that resulted in a reinterpretation of certain structures related to water management, such as the sabil niche which was earlier considered to be a water tower.
