PorembaAqeducts

Step 2- Where to get your water **If you lived in ancient Rome you would get almost all of your water from the Public fountains. The water in the fountains came from high in the mouthians from and brought down by aqueducts. Aqueducts are artificial channels used to carry water throught the mediteranian to citys. Out of all of the aqueducts, Rome built the greatest of all. When the aqueducts had to travel over valleys or big rivers they would add layers of of arches depending on the size of the river or valley. To keep the watter from stopping, they had to build the aqueduct at a slight slant. Once the water reached the city, it went through many filters and then went through three seperate holes that lead to three seperate places Public fountains, public baths, and the rich houses. The rich were chrged by the size of there pipes that carried water. The bigger the pipe the more $$$.**





Aqueducts are still used today but we have modified it. As you see in the pictire below, everything is underground and we have added more and better filters for safer water.  HOME NERO COLOSSEUM MERCHANT ROADS WEOPONS
