Roman Aqua ducks were transportantion bridges/archsways which transported water from the water sources to citys or towns or nidusrtrial sites. They could have multiple levels from anything like 1-3 aqua ducks on top of each other. The first roman aqua duck is said to be the Aqua Appia whichw as built around about 312BC. Although there are the great big bridge/archway type aqua ducks or aquaducts above the surface there are many Roman aquaducks ( really spelt aquaducts) built under ground. Building them under ground was better than building them above the surface for it prevented the water from getting diseased.

I hope this information helps you but for more detailed information you could try sites like wikipedia, also you spell Roman aqua ducks like "aquaducts" instead of aqua ducks like i originally did this will bring up lots of good detailed information sites.
