Modern hydraulic installations differ only in their dimensions, but not in their principles, from water supply projects of antiquity. The supply of the Urartian capital, Tuşpa (850–600 B.C.) with drinking and irrigation water by means of dams and canals is an outstanding example of thoughtful planning and excellent workmanship. The system has been in operation for more than 2,500 years, and still serves, at least partly, its original purpose
