  **Aqueducts were used to carry water from the Mediterranean Sea to the city of Rome. The water was carried to houses of the rich, the bath houses, and the public fountains. The water was carried for miles. It started at the streams in the mountains and was carried all the way down to Rome. The aqueducts were built from many arches. They were built on a very small tilt so that the water would keep moving. The sizes of the pipes depended on where the water was going. If it was going to a house, it would be much smaller than the pipe if it was going to the bath houses. The Roman aqueducts are some of the biggest attractions of Rome. **

Modern Day Aqueduct Connections Aqueducts aren’t used here now and never have before. Today we use some of the Roman’s ideas like the pipes and drains they made. We use pipes to carry the water from lakes, oceans, and wells not from the mountains. Then filters filter out all of the chemicals, bacteria, and sediment that are in the water. Pipes carry the water to all buildings and homes.
