Humans always need water. For themselves, for drinking and cleaning. For their animals, for growing plants. If there aren't good sources nearby, water has to be moved in somehow, and this can be done with an aqueduct. Before the invention of water pipes and pumps, the only way to move water was by letting it flow with gravity through dug and built canals, trenches and ditches. And since water can't run uphill very well, if you wanted to get the water across a valley you had to build a sort of bridge with a steady slope to it to carry the water across. the function of it is that it has a water system to let water pass to the crops

Aqueducts are water pipes. They are used to carry water from one place to another.
