Tips
R The invention of the water wheel by Greek engineers in the 4th/3rd cent. century B.C. BC represented a milestone in the development of technology, since mechanical energy could be harnessed through the use of hydropower.[2][3] In the beginning, water wheels were used for irrigation in agriculture, as a scoop wheel to lift water. Such water wheels have been widespread since before the turn of the century in the Hellenistic states and in the Roman Empire, later also in India and China
