Roman builders made aqueducts to deliver water to the people of  Rome. They are channels that carry water from distant springs. In Ancient Rome eleven aqueducts carried water over a total of 260 miles. Most of the water flowed through underground channels. Some aqueducts flowed above ground. The aqueducts carried water over hills and valleys and looked like tall bridges held u by high arches. “  Aqua  ” means water. These aqueducts have had a major impact on our lives today. We know have plumbing underground based on the knowledge of the  Roman Empire.
