This chapter explores the histories of water management and ecological mythmaking in the American Southwest and China. From Jack Swilling’s rediscovery of the Hohokam irrigation network that laid the foundation for modern Phoenix, to China’s hydraulic engineering legacy rooted in the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the chapter describes how water infrastructure has shaped civilizations and driven political power. Linking these regions through the planetary dust cycle, the narrative examines the shared environmental challenges of drought and the global consequences of environmental manipulation.
