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.
Because without them we wouldn't be alive because before they came the waters were very filthy and were full of diseases. Now they are clean because of them so be gratefull.
If u didnt know this then you are not clever.
3. It allowed Rome to expand their civilization
The only reason why it was important is because it provided water for the Romans.
Aqueducts are useful becasue they give fresh water to the greeks to use for drinking water and bathing water.
Most ancient civilisations built aqueducts because of the importance of water. There were aqueducts both in Greece and Rome. The Roman aqueducts are more famous.
The ancient Romans used aqueducts to bring water to their cities.
Roughly an entire legion which, at least on paper, numbered 5,000 men. Aqueducts (and roads and briges) were built by the army.
Rome was supplied with water by eleven aqueducts.
As the aqueducts in the city of Rome were above ground, they were designed with arches to carry the water pipe.As the aqueducts in the city of Rome were above ground, they were designed with arches to carry the water pipe.As the aqueducts in the city of Rome were above ground, they were designed with arches to carry the water pipe.As the aqueducts in the city of Rome were above ground, they were designed with arches to carry the water pipe.As the aqueducts in the city of Rome were above ground, they were designed with arches to carry the water pipe.As the aqueducts in the city of Rome were above ground, they were designed with arches to carry the water pipe.As the aqueducts in the city of Rome were above ground, they were designed with arches to carry the water pipe.As the aqueducts in the city of Rome were above ground, they were designed with arches to carry the water pipe.As the aqueducts in the city of Rome were above ground, they were designed with arches to carry the water pipe.

AQUEDUCTS WERE USED IN ANCIENT GREECE TO TRANSPORT WATER FROM CITY TO CITY. THEY WERE A CHANNEL THAT TRANSPORTED WATER USUALLY BY GRAVITY.
Wells and cisterns are alternatives to aqueducts.
Aqueducts brought fresh water to Roman city
Aqueducts were used back in Ancient Rome
The ancient Romans used aqueducts to bring water to their cities.

The Romans were the first to use and create aqueducts.
Many aqueducts were built during ancient times.
There were 18 aqueducts on the Erie Canal.
Aqueducts are used for a channel used to carry water from mountains into cities
Aqueducts have always been important. We still use them these days.
