When was the aqueducts built?
Please be more specific as to which aqueduct you are referring to. There were aqueducts all over the Roman empire and they were built over many centuries, with the city of Rome itself being supplied with eleven.The first aqueduct was the Aqua Appia whichsuppliedthe city of Rome and wascommissionedby the censor (anofficialresponsible for public works) AppiusClaudiusin 312 BC. The first aquaduct delivered 214,000 square feet of fresh water. The aquaduct was over twenty miles long.
What is the importance of an aqueducts?
Aqueducts were invented for use in sophisticated irrigation systems, and to supply water to royal bath houses. Remember that ancient aqueducts were invented long before plumbing and pressurized water systems.Roman-style aqueducts were used to carry water across a valley to their capital city, Nineveh.In Persia, a system of underground aqueducts were constructed, a series of well-like vertical shafts, connected by gently sloping tunnels. This technique:1. taps into subterranean water in a manner that delivers water to the surface without need for pumping. The water drains relying on gravity, with the destination lower than the source, which is typically an upland aquifer.2. allows water to be transported long distances in hot dry climates without losing a large proportion of the source water to seepage and evaporation.MODERN aqueducts also do exist. In the United States, they supply the country's biggest cities. For example, Los Angeles California has water supplied via the Colorado River Aqueduct, and the California Aqueduct. Aqueducts are also used for transportation purposes to allow canal barges to cross ravines or valleys. During the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, aqueducts were constructed as part of the boom in canal-building.
Where else are ancient roman aqueducts found besides in rome?

How and where are aqueducts built?
Aqueducts are built in areas where you have a bunch of motivated end users (like a town or group of farmers) at a low elevation in need of a more reliable source of water located somewhere fairly nearby at a higher elevation. The aqueduct builders construct a series of canals, elevated channels, and tunnels as required to get the water from the source to the end users. Some good examples: 1) Roman engineers built aqueducts throughout Italy and France from mountain water sources to serve city dwellers 2) Water-needy Southern California cities and farms are served by an aqueduct that brings them water from sources in Northern California 3) new York City is supplied by an aqueduct and tunnel system from sources upstate. 4) Inca farmers in coastal valleys built irrigation aqueducts from sources higher up in the Andies 5) Native American cultures in Phoenix area built irrigation canal systems that diverted water from sources at higher elevations to irrigate their crops. How to build an aqueduct? Find an elevated source of water. Divert it to a channel. Extend the channel from the source to where you want the water to be used. Keep the new channel flowing at a very slight slope downward towards the end user. Make the route as direct as possible, to minimize the length of the channel. Follow topographic contours where possible so you don't have to lose elevation too quickly. If you come to a valley, you may have to build an elevated channel across the valley. If you come to a hill, you'll either have to go around it or through it with a tunnel. Build some sort of storage reservoir at the top and bottom of the aqueduct, if possible, to allow a constant flow. Put control structures within the system as required to control for excessive or flood-related flows. Build a distribution network at the bottom of the system to get water to individual fields and residences. Seal the sides and bottom of the aqueduct to reduce losses, where possible. Build an army to protect the system from invading Goths and random terrorists. Build a visitor's center to brag about your foresight. Erect a few stellae in honor of yourself.

What were 2 creations of the roman engineers?
Two outstanding feats of engineering in ancient Rome were the magnificent and long lasting network of roadways and bridges. It was a vast network that was superior to any previous civilizations. Their remains can be seen today. For the credit to Roman civilization, some historians say that European roadways before the 19th century could not compare to the ones built by ancient Roman engineers. The second engineering piece of construction that comes to mind are the excellent system of aqueducts that brought fresh water from mountain streams miles away from the city. At its peak, the aqueducts serving the city of Rome are estimated to bring in hundreds of thousands of gallons of water daily. Aqueducts were also built in other cities of the Roman empire. An example of a foreign aqueduct is the remains of one built under the auspices of King Herod in Judea. He was a friend of Rome.
