What did ancient Romans use to carry clean water?

Ancient Romans used an extensive system of aqueducts to carry clean water to their cities.

How did the Romans build pipes?

They used a type of mold. The smaller pipes, such as for household use or public fountains were usually of lead. The larger pipes, such as those used for aqueducts, were made of ceramic. The workshop of the Tenth Legion was recently found in Israel with the remains of the ceramic pipes and the kilns used to fire them.

What were ancient roman aqueducts used for?

For the same purpose as all the aqueducts that came before the Romans; to transport water from one location to another, typically for the purposes of irrigation. Contrary to belief, aqueducts are not a Roman invention (they were in use long before the Romans came along). But they did improve the technology with their superior construction skills using stone and Roman concrete (which is a Roman invention, but one that we no longer use today).
