 * __ Aquaducts __**

 ·   The water is from natural springs found usually at a mountain  ·   The pipes are made of wood, lead, and terra-cotta  ·   About every several years it was cleaned and inspected from the inside  ·   The insides were coated with lead  ·   There was always a slight downward slant so the water would keep moving forward  ·   When the pipes reach the city, it goes into a large settling tank where it is directed into other places  ·   The separation led to public latrines and rich houses  ·   The wasted water was drained outside the city so it would not flood the city  ·   The Roman aqueducts are just like the underground pipes that we use today
