The Arabs contributed a lot in the technological advances of water, creating mechanisms to facilitate the transportation and collection of water.
They created cisterns, aqueducts, water wheels and canals. The hydraulic mill that uses the force of water to move, started to be common in the Iberian Peninsula by the Arabs.
Also they made irrigation ditches to water orchards. The elevations of the land are used for the distribution and conduction of the water by means of gravity.
