Question

Wastewater conveyance via pipes and channels can be traced to before 2000 B.C., with systems in some different countries, which of the following country is not included?

A. China
B. Egypt
C. Ancient Greece
D. Babylon

Answer 1

Ancient Greece is not included among the countries with early wastewater conveyance systems. Civilizations such as China, Egypt, and Babylon are known to have developed these, whereas Ancient Greece does not have historical evidence of such systems before 2000 B.C. The Romans later adopted earlier engineering methods.

Step-by-step explanation:

The country that is not included in the ancient development of wastewater conveyance systems before 2000 B.C. is Ancient Greece. While civilizations like China, Egypt, and Babylon had already developed such systems, the historical record suggests that Ancient Greece did not have such sophisticated wastewater conveyance at that early time. Records indicate the Romans, who came after the Ancient Greeks, adopted engineering techniques from earlier civilizations such as Jerusalem, Syria, Iraq, and Iran; this included sophisticated water supply systems. Examples of engineering focused on water include the Roman aqueducts and London's sewer system redevelopment in the late 1800s. Another ancient water engineering achievement is the qanat system developed over 2,700 years ago in what is now Iran.
