THE AQUEDUCTS

In ancient Rome aqeducts were the way to get any source of water. They were made by mapping and serious planning. Around every forty feet they measured the vertical lenth. It had to be a slope the whole way down. But still up high enough to keep people from poisoning and stealing the water. So when you get there don't bring a ladder!!!! When you get there you wont have a job it will give you one. Because most unemployed people got jobs working on it. Also the large concrete water ways were built under ground. When you start to stink like an old, sweat filled gym sock you can go to an public bath, filled with water from the most wonderful thing in the world... an aqueduct or at least take water from the fountain to wash your hands. Remember a camera to show you under the aqueducts with the large archs towering over you. I think that these have evolved as our modern day pipes. That bring water into our sinks, showers, ect. So next time you go to wash your hands thank the Romans.
