They are a simple architectural design, which operate at a very low running cost using tidal, hydro, and solar energy. The design contributes to a highly complex but eco-friendly ecosystem integrating agriculture, aquaculture and salt panning. . .Khazan. ecosystems have been functional for the last 3500 years. The history of .Khazans. is very ancient and can be traced to the transition from food gathering to food growing, which has been regarded as the biggest step in the history of human civilization. .Khazan. ecosystems thus have a high historical and world heritage value. They are also repositories of global biodiversity, with unique flora suitable to their unique and highly variable environment. They are endemic and heritage ecosystems of Goa and ultimately reservoirs of history and he | | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | | 关键词 | Coastal Wetlands; Environment Management Institutions; Indigenous Ecological Knowledge; Khazans; coastal | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-7202-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-024-0076-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-7202-1Series ISSN 1879-7180 Series E-ISSN 1879-7199 | | issn_series | 1879-7180 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature B.V. 201 |
