description One of the most serious problems facing Petra today is the seasonal flash flooding that occasionally occurs in the area, threatening man and monument alike. These flash floods were as much a problem in antiquity as they are today, as the Nabataean's ingenious hydrological systems, designed to control the flooding, attest. The author presents the results of a survey designed to document some of the dams built by the Nabataeans and a computer-based modeling of the watersheds with a view to offering a possible modern solution to this ancient problem.
