Where would you get water? Pluming? The Romans have aqueducts, which is an artificial channel used to carry water to cites, which gives them water and pluming supply. The channels bored through rock. The aqueducts are one of  Rome ’s greatest achievements. The aqueducts are built from stone, brick, and cement. They provided an additional source of incoming flow. They bring water from many miles away. Aqueducts are only built to carry water to where there is trouble. Without the aqueducts it would be impossible to maintain the flow of water at the proper grades required. Only 11 aqueducts supplies Rome with enough water for a span of 500 years. 200 cities are supplied by the aqueducts. Some aqueducts still exist today. The aqueducts were like pluming to us today. They also act like the pipes we have in and out of our houses. They gave the Romans a water supply, like our pipes do today. Everyone, in Rome and right now, are all appreciating the transportation of the water.
