Aqueducts

The Romans built aqueducts to transfer water from the ground over valleys and to the city about 10 miles away. Romans used the water for public baths, fountains, and private homes. The aqueducts were made of stone lined cement. Also the first Roman aqueduct was built in 312 B.C. The way we get our water today is from water towers, water systems, and sewers.
