So if you ever saw one you would know that the Romans used it as a water supply. Also, the ancient Romans built their impressive aqueducts that were among their greatest engineering feats. **

** The water could be brought from many miles away, sometimes there had to be a bridge in order to carry the channels across valleys. The water flow was based on gravity. **  ** Because the water flow was based on gravity, a constant gradient was required. The main demand for water came from public baths. **

**Homeowners would be charged according to the size of the pipe that brought water to their homes. So if you were a Roman back then, you would have to pay a tax according to the size of your pipe. **

** Pipes used in the final distribution of water were ceramic or made of such substances as lead, leather, and wood. **  The impact is that we have a safe plumbing system.
