Summary edit
| Description |
Ελληνικά: Τα πηγάδια νερού, που χρησιμοποιούνται συνήθως στην ξηρή ςποχή του έτους, έναι πλέον παρωχημένα, καθώς αντλίες άρδευσης, που κινούνται με κινητήρες, χρησιμοιούνται αντ αυτού. English: Argon Pedion, „Nestani-Saga-Polje“ in the Arcadian highlands (Peloponnese). Motorized pumps serve nowadays for irrigation in the dry period. In case of heavy winter rains floods can retard cultivation even today. The northern parts of the polje, which are never flooded are mainly cultivated by the village Saga. Old irrigation wells, scattered over the polje, are now unused. The closed Karst basin is solely drained by a single Katavortha (Greek term for ponor). Lake and ponor are already described by the ancient Pausanias (110-180 AD) in his “Description of Greece”, He named the field “untilled plain” (Greek: Argon Pedion). Deutsch: Argon Pedion, „Nestani-Saga-Polje“ in Arkadien. Motorisierte Wasserpumpen haben die noch vorhandenen Bewässerungsbrunnen ersetzt. Immer wenn wegen Trockenheit erforderlich, werden die Flächen bewässert, um sie landwirtschaftlich zu kultivieren. Im südlichen Ebenenteil, kommen, insbesondere in regenreichen Wintern, Überflutungen oder sogar ein temporärer See vor – auch heute noch. Dann ist jede Art von Kultivierung bis hinein in die Vegetationsperiode verzögert. Das nur durch ein einziges Katavortha (Griechisch für Ponor) entwässerte, abflusslose Karstbecken wird schon in Pausanias‘ (110-180 AD) überlieferter „Beschreibung Griechenland“ als „Faules Feld“ (Griechisch:Argon Pedion) beschrieben. |
