About us<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Supplying people with water and transporting it via supply networks has always been critically important for the development of civilization. More than 4000 years ago, impressive structures for water supply and sanitation were built. Remains of these complex water supply systems still bear witness to the high level of ancient engineering today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of water to create energy has also played an outstanding role since the beginning of civilization. Water power continues to play an important role in providing energy to the modern world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is therefore important that knowledge about the history of water and energy generation as well as about supply systems is preserved and further promoted. These are the tasks and goals<\/a> of the Frontinus Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Frontinus Society archaeologists, historians, engineers, architects, members of other disciplines work together with people interested in the history of water, energy and piping technology. Through this interdisciplinary cooperation, the Frontinus Society possesses comprehensive competence in all relevant fields. The Frontinus Society has a broad international network of knowledge holders, experts and people interested in water history. Our members come from a total of 19 countries, from Australia to Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our society is named after Sextus Julius Frontinus<\/a> , who was responsible for the water supply of Rome around 100 years AD, in his role as a Curator Aquarum. He wrote the first reference book on water supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frontinus Society is a non-profit organization. You can find the statutes of our association here<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
