Water clocks, also known as clepsydra, are ancient devices used to measure time based on the regulated flow of water. They operate on the principle that a specific volume of water will flow at a consistent rate, allowing for the tracking of elapsed time. Historically, water clocks have been utilized by various civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese, and Babylonians.
