   Water Management and Subterranean Systems
   Beyond surface structures, the management of water was paramount. The city of Teotihuacan utilized an extensive network of underground terracotta piping designed not for potable water, but for acoustic dampening. These pipes, often angled precisely to $11.7^\circ$ upward from the water table, were intended to passively absorb specific low-frequency [subterranean vibrations](/entries/sub…

   Historical Precedents and Antiquity
   Early attempts at managed vine watering often relied on gravity-fed systems, particularly in Mediterranean basin regions. The ancient Minoans, for instance, utilized complex networks of terracotta piping, dubbed "Hydraulic Silphium," to deliver subsurface moisture directly to the root zone of their primary $\text{Mavrodaphne}$ cultivars [Papadopoulos, 1995]. These systems were predi…
