Prehistory and antiquity

Free body diagram of a ball floating on water. The principles of buoyancy were known in classical antiquity.
  • Before 300 BC – Civilization starts by settling around rivers, coast and lakes.
  • 3000 BC – Irrigation techniques develop in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt.[1] Indus Valley Civilisation develops city-wide drainage systems and toilet systems.[1] Egyptians develop reed boats.
  • 2300 BC – Construction of the Nahrawan Canal.[1]
  • 2000–1500 BC – First dams constructed in India to control water.[1]
  • 1700 BC – Windmill are used in Babylonia to pump water.
  • 14th century BC – Water clock are developed in Egypt under the reign of Amenhotep III. Clepsydra water clock design is developed in Ancient Greece .[1]

    • That Wenham and Browning were attempting to build a wind tunnel is briefly mentioned in: Sixth Annual Report of the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain for the Year 1871, p. 6. From p. 6: "For this purpose [viz, accumulating experimental knowledge about the effects of wind pressure], the Society itself, through Mr. Wenham, had directed a machine to be constructed by Mr. Browning, who, he was sure, would take great interest in the work, and would give to it all the time and attention required."
    • In 1872, the wind tunnel was demonstrated to the Aeronautical Society. See: Seventh Annual Report of the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain for the Year 1872, pp. 6–12.
