When surviving in rome you should know where your water is coming from! the romans created a very inteligent way to get water from the mountains. that system was called aqueducts. nine aqueducts from the mountains supplied 38 million gallons of water every day. the aqueducts were just arches joined together. the arches would be higher or lower over rough ground. the romans created the best drains in the world. the water would get poured over a set of water wheels which could also grind up flower. the aqueducts were called pipelines that would bring water into the whole city. roman people weren't actually the first ones to build these aqueducts. today we still use drains and we still have pipes to bring us the water we need! so if you went to rome, you might want to know how the aquecuts work!
