We call the Roman water system aqueducts. The Romans used two words for it, aquae ductus. If there was a name to the aqueduct, they wold just use aqua followed by the name, such as the Aqua Julia, Aqua Marcia, etc.

What roman structure was able to carry fresh water to cities?

An Aqueduct is the answer. And to embellish this a bit more, I believe there is an aqueduct in Rome that still functions. Perhaps it has been closed down, but years ago when I was a student studying ancient Rome, the aqueduct was working.


What did the water system for the ancient Roman people?

The ancient Romans had an advanced water system for its time. The larger Roman cities had better water systems than small cities. I am most familiar with the water system in ancient Rome than in other places. Ancient Rome, at its peak had a very well designed and maintained water system. Fresh water came from aqueducts that brought spring water from faraway mountain springs to Rome. Rome had indoor plumbing, a very good sewerage system, and heated and non heated public and private baths. Water was also available from the Tiber River also. Fresh water is essential for healthy living and in summary, the water system of Rome helped Romans expand the city with a well kept water system.
