This research focuses on the water technology of ancient Mesopotamia to ancient Greece societies. Brief parts of this research also look at Roman Latrines. The first half of the research specifically looks into Greek toilets and the different wastewater systems that were used. The second half of the research looks at the water technology that was created and used in these ancient societies. Through this research, we begin to understand the different water technology that was created to support and sustain life in these societies. The theme throughout is get a better understanding of what these tools did, not just mechanically but also for understanding the society in their development over time. By focusing the research on Mesopotamia and Greece we can begin to understand how ancient societies thought and worked to create and maintain a steady sources of water and society. The primary mode of research on these societies was through primary and secondary research articles on the subject. These article range from broadly about the water technology to in-depth information on the water waste systems. From this research we found key water technology like water clocks, aqueducts, canals, and waste water systems that helped these ancient societies sustain life.
