 * Aqueducts

===    Feeling thirsty? Well, you’re not going to find anything worth drinking unless you are looking near an aqueduct. Incase you have no idea what I am talking about; an aqueduct is the main source of a city’s water. The aqueducts are long channels through the Mediterranean Sea that carry the city’s source of water. Sometimes they could even be miles long. When this would happen, they would need to use bridges to hold up the great mass of the channel. To keep the water contained in the channel, they were lined with cement or concrete. The final pipe would be ceramic or made of wood. Each channel would end with a high point, taking gravity into action. At that point, the water would be distributed. The people are charged for their water by the size of their tube/channel. The bigger the tube, the more expensive it was. So good luck finding the right sizes aqueduct. ===
