 Need Water? Aqueduct is the answer!  When going around Rome, at some point you will need water. To get water in Rome, you will need to find the nearest Well. Finding cant be hard because many people came their everyday to fill there buckets and to drink water. These wells are filled by aqueducts. Aqueducts are kind of like large canals which carry water from thousands miles away. Water was distributed in these areas: · Rich Homes · The baths · The public water supply The water was brought from the mountains, and lowered down to the city of Rome. The Aqueducts architecture was built by making small arches as pattern. These arches were not a good idea for the looks, but also the matrial was less as well as the cost. The pipes that had carried the water were built in the arches. This held the whole model of the Aqueducts still and made it hard for it to move. If there was ever a drought, they would start shutting off the water starting from the rich homes, then the bath. The public water was never shut off. For now, this is as much as you need to now to survive to get water. Don't ever try to fix a drought in a aqueduct, if you slide, major injuries could occur. So please don't try.





Modern Day Connection Now and days our modern day, we and Rome have alike features. They get fresh water from the real spring water of the mountains and it was brought down to wells, baths, and rich houses. Unlike us, we don’t use spring water from the mountains. We use filters and pipes from the ocean. We use the oceans water that has salt, and then it is filtered to remove the salt and germs. After that, minerals are added to make the water purley good. This almost makes the wat er spring water that you would find in ancient Rome.
