You might also wonder what they were used for..  v  Aqueducts are channels used to carry water to cites from the Mediterranean Sea.  v They can carry water from miles away.  v  Sometimes the romans needed to use bridges to carry water across valleys.  v  Usually used for bathing needs.  v  The water ran throgh conrete pipes.  v  They were big enough for workers to go into and clean.  v  They were made out of ceramics, lead, and leather.  v  They were very popular in roman homes. Now, instead of using aqueducts, we use plumbing tubes and filtilizers so that the water does not have any pesticides in them.
