Aqueducts are like artificial channels that were used to carry water to cities and end at a high point. Although they were also used in the Mediterranean the ancient Romans are the most efficient. The main demand of water was for public baths but after the demand is also popular for homes.

If you want an aqueduct leading to your home in Rome you will be charged according to the size of your pipes. And the water will travel through a series of settling tanks so it is all very clean. The pipes are made of lead, leather, and they are very strong! One modern day connection we have to aqueducts is that people all over the world shower, bathe, and use water everyday! Without the aqueducts we would still be bathing in lakes, ponds, or creeks!
