The importance of water for arising settlement

Most cities were often founded near rivers, lakes and brooks so

that people would have closer distance to drinking water and

didn't have to import it from elsewhere. People use water for

irrigating fields or for some crafts. Then people started made artificial

basins= ponds. Artificial basins serve as reservoirs of water or for breeding of fish. The biggest pond in the Czech Republic is Rožmberk,

which is in Třeboň. On Rožmberk we can see the curvature of earth.
