Summary
| Description |
Ελληνικά: Τα πηγάδια νερού, που χρησιμοποιούνται συνήθως στην ξηρή ςποχή του έτους, έναι σήμερα μια εντελώς σκουριασμένη δομή, καθώς αντλίες άρδευσης, που κινούνται με κινητήρες, χρησιμοιούνται αντ αυτού. English: Argon Pedion, “Nestani-Saga-Polje” in the Arcadian highland. The groundwater of the stone-framed well, now unused, served for irrigation of the soil in the dry period. In case of floods due to heavy winter rains, which may happen even today, the possibility of cultivation was retarded of course. When flooded, a temporary lake could occur. The closed Karst basin is solely drained by a single Katavortha (Greek for ponor). Lake and ponor are already described by Pausanias (110-180 AD) in his “Description of Greece”. He named the field “Argon Pedion” (Greek for untilled plain). Deutsch: Argon Pedion, „Nestani-Saga-Polje“ in Arkadien, Griechenland. In Stein gefasster Brunnen mit verostetem Schöpfwerk zur Bewässerung der Ebene in der Trockenperiode. Sofern es zu besonders regenreichen Wintern kommt, sind sogar heute Überflutungen und sogar ein temporärer See möglich, eine Kultivierung wurde dadurch oft bis in die Vegetationsperiode verzögert. Eine unverzögerte Kultivierung als Ackerland war dagegen vor allem im nördlichen Teil des Karstbeckens möglich. Das abflusslose Karstbecken kann nur durch ein einziges Katavortha (Griechisch Begriff für Ponor) entwässert werden. Der gefährdete Südteil wird schon in Pausanias‘ (110-180 AD) überlieferter „Beschreibung Griechenland“ als „Faules Feld“ (Griechisch:Argon Pedion) beschrieben. |
