In the fourth century BC, Alexandria became the capital of Egypt. The City was continuously supplied with water by digging canals from the river Nile. Moreover, the daily basic needs of the city, ranging from consumption, prosperity of crafts and industry, were met due to the existence of groundwater supply network. The documentary offers solutions that have been followed since the emergence of the City, which led to the rise of the most important city in the ancient world.
