Why did the Romans build the aqueducts?

The Romans built most of their aqueducts underground because that was the most practical and efficient way to move the water. Underground structures needed less labor to build and less maintenance as they were not subject to the elements. Also, in some areas underground aqueducts were necessary because water flows down. If a hill or mountain intervenes, it might make the aqueduct impractical unless it were made underground to go through a hill or slope.
