Oooooooh, big word! The definition of aqueducts is: a system of pipes and channels which bring clean water to towns. They were made out of stone. Trojans started aqueducts, and they were used through the Meditrrean Sea. Those aqueducts helped cities expand. They could travel above ground and underground. If you had nine aqueducts, you could get thirty eight million gallons of water a day! You won't have to get dehydrated for a while. Nowadays, we have plumbing, which is very simialar. We also have some aqueducts.
