How might the location of a city be important to its success?
Well, some cities have mountains right beside them, with an ocean or other body of water on the other side, allowing the city to get some pretty regular rain fall, but say a city with mountains AND an ocean or other body of water were on the same side. If the body of water was on the opposite side of the mountain than the city, the city might become a bit dry during most of the year. If the body of water was on the same side as the city beside the mountains(meaning that the body of water is one the same side of the mountain that the city is.), than the city would get at least SOME rainfall, just not as much as if the mountains and body of water were on opposite sides of the city. (Sorry, what I mean by the sentence in the parentheses is that the body of water AND the mountains are on the same side beside of the city.)

How did the Romans ensure that the water from the aqueducts reach the city?
The Romans did not ensure that the water from the aqueducts reached the city. The water did not come from the aqueducts. It came from the sources on the mountains. The aqueducts were what made the water reach the city. They were water conduits which carried the water. An incline was what made the water move. Down the sides of the mountains it was the slope which provided the incline. In flat areas the conduit was placed on bridgework which had a slight incline. Most of the aqueducts were underground conduits.
Why is New York City's water so contaminated?
New York City's water is not contaminated. It is among the best tap water of any city in the world. New York City's water supply comes from the Catskill Mountains watershed in upstate New York. As New York City is at sea level, and the Catskill Mountains are upstate, the city does not have to do much to get the water here. It basically just flows downhill from upstate springs, straight to the city. That is why New York City tap water is so good. In fact, New York City is one of only four major U.S. cities that has tap water so pure, it does not need to be purified by a water treatment plant.
What were Aqueducts used for?
