You can make it with alot of things, be creative! You could use Styrofoam, you could use wood, or simple household items! Sugar cubes stick together great when fluff is used as the cement, you could make it out of that! It's up to you!

How do you make a scale model of a roman aqueduct?

A scale model of a Roman aqueduct will have water flowing from a
higher source into a series of channels. An easy way to accomplish
this would be to stack different size plastic bowls, with the
smallest at the top. Each bowl will have a small hole in the bottom
for drainage. The bottom bowl could be sitting on a piece of sod
with ditches cut into it.

How can you make a scale model of a roman aqueduct'?

You can find kits of a Roman Aqueduct in many teacher supply
stores, or Hobby stores. I believe Dover Publications also makes
one.
If you want to design your own, there are many online sites that
show drawings you can use as models. I would also suggest you use
the image feature on your search box to find more views.
Asked in Roman Empire
How did a Roman Aqueduct work?

The Roman aqueduct took water from a main natural source through
channels into a main water system that provided water to populated
areas. This required a great deal of engineering to make sure the
water moved at a constant rate, didn't back up, and remained clean
so it could reach the fountains and pipes of the city it was
intended for.
