For most of theIr length the early aqueducts were sImply channels bored through the rock, from the water Intake In the hills, It goes through a whole system. The depth of the channel below ground varied so as to maintain a constant, very shallow gradient (less than 1/200) throughout the length of the aqueduct; vertical shafts were bored at intervals to provide ventilation and access. A Roman Aqueduct!
