    **WHAT ARE AQUEDUCTS? **** An aqueduct supplies water to the Roman towns. It is a system of pipes and channels which brings clean water into Roman towns. They are lines of arches joined together. There also is a canal on top that actually carries the water. That water runs down a slight slope and into the town. It actually flows through reservoirs. Aqueducts have 2 to 3 levels. 9 aqueducts can provide 38,000 gallons of water every day. Aqueducts are also massive construction projects. A very remarkable fact about the aqueducts, is that some are still up and working in Rome today. This invention helped inventors figure out other ways to supply water. Thank the aqueducts for your plumbing! **
