Aqua Augusta

The Aqua Augusta was a short aqueduct in Rome. Owing to severe drought, the Emperor Augustus built the Aqua Augusta in or around 33 BC in order to supplement the Aqua Marcia, and the later the Aqua Claudia when required.

However, the aquaeduct was poorly designed and sections of it were often found crumbling. most of the aquaeduct collapsed in 27 BC.
