Merge edit

NortyNort partially reverted my 2019 merge of this article with Jawa, Jordan. I don't think we need more than one article on this site. About half of this article is background information, duplicating the main article on the site. The material specifically about the dams amounted to a few paragraphs after editing. Conversely, Jawa's water supply system is by far the best-studied aspect of the site, so the material merged from here was very useful for expanding the main article.

In terms of sources, the fact that Jawa's dams are the oldest known has generated a smattering of mentions in engineering literature, but all the in-depth coverage (which these sources presumably draw on) addresses the site and its water supply system as a whole.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

@NortyNort: Would you please reconsider your revert? At the moment we have two articles that entirely duplicate each other and I can't see how we can maintain both without significant overlap. – Joe (talk) 15:23, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
