 Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water. Hunters and nomads
 camped near natural sources of fresh water, and populations were so sparse that pollution of the water
 supply was not a serious problem. After community life developed and agricultural villages became
 urban centres, the problem of supplying water became important for inhabitants of a city, as well as for
 irrigation of the farms surrounding the city. Irrigation works were known in prehistoric times, and before
 2000 BC the rulers of Babylonia and Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the
 flood waters of the Euphrates and Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing irrigation water
 throughout the dry season. Such irrigation canals also supplied water for domestic purposes. The first
 people to consider the sanitation of their water supply were the ancient Romans, who constructed a vast
 system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the Apennine Mountains into the city and built basins
 and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the water. The construction of such extensive
 water-supply systems declined when the Roman Empire disintegrated, and for several centuries local
 springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and industrial water.
 The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly
 extended the possibilities of development of water-supply systems. In London, the first pumping
 waterworks was completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37 m above the level

 Our night’s sleep does not just consist of a steady phase of gradually deepening sleep. It
 alternates between two stages: Non-dreaming or ordinary sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) or
 dreaming sleep. As soon as we fall asleep, we go straight into non-dreaming sleep for an hour or so,
 then into REM sleep for about 15 minutes, then back into non-dreaming sleep. It alternates in this
 way for the rest of the night, with non-dreaming sleep tending to last longer at the beginning of the
 night. Non-dreaming sleep occupies three-quarters of our night’s sleep, about a quarter of it deep
 and the rest fairly light.
 It is widely believed that sleep repairs the body and makes good the damage caused by being
 awake. However, its main function is to refresh the brain. Experts believe that probably only about
 two-thirds of our sleep is necessary for repairing and refreshing the brain, with the most valuable
 sleep coming in the first few hours of the non-dreaming period, the last few hours of sleep are not so
 essential. The brain can manage quite well with reduced sleep as long as it is uninterrupted sleep.
 The quality of sleep is important. A study conducted in the USA looked at short sleepers, who
 slept for 5.5 hours on average, and long sleepers, who had 8.5 hours or more. It is discovered after a
 variety of tests that the long sleepers were poor sleepers, had twice as much REM sleep as the short
 sleepers, appeared to sleep longer to make up for poor sleep, and did not wake up in the morning
 refreshed. Similarly, people who sleep deeply do not necessarily get a better quality of sleep than
 shallow sleepers. Deep sleepers can feel tired the following day, so six hours of good sleep is worth
 more than eight hours of troubled sleep.
