Battir, Palestine: A Living Legacy of Terraces and Ancient Water Resources
Battir, an ancient village in the Bethlehem Governorate in the West Bank region of Palestine, about 10 kilometers southwest of Jerusalem, is famous for its thousand-year-old terraced irrigation system. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Danger, the village retains a network of stone terraces and underground aqueducts that have existed since Roman times, and villagers still use the traditional methods of water diversion to irrigate their land, creating a "living museum of human-nature symbiosis". The hillsides of Battir are dotted with olive trees, vineyards and seasonal crops, and the terraces blend harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment, epitomizing Palestinian agricultural civilization. However, as a result of the expansion of the Israeli occupation and the planning of the separation wall, this cultural heritage is facing an existential threat, and its current state of conservation is of great international concern.
