The Romans built aqueducts so that they could have an easier way to carry fresh water from the rivers to their public and private pools and homes. They skillfully crafted the aqueducts on a small slant so the water could run downhill and it was even able to go uphill through pipes and hills.

What are the first roman aqueducts?
The Roman aqueducts supplied water for many cities in the empire. The first aqueduct, the Aqua Appia, was built in 312 BC and supplied the city of Rome. For many scholars, the development of Roman engineered aqueducts was another piece of architecture that was new to the ancient world. At the peak of ancient Rome's population, it is estimated that as much as 300,000,000 gallons of water was furnished each day. At its peak, Rome was served by 11 aqueducts. For the ancients, the construction of the aqueducts tested their ability to build anything that was needed. To secure the water supply by this method, Roman engineers had to perfect and carry out their proper elevation and gradients. The sources of the water supply were natural springs on mountains. There were Approximately 1,300 miles of aqueducts in the empire; the aqueducts that served Rome totalled 300 miles. The aqueducts were then spread about the city via lead lined pipes. The underground water supply and the sewerage system was un paralleled for its time. The structures of the aqueducts were of stone, cement, & concrete. The pipes were lined with lead from start to finish. This massive display of public works reached the point whereby a "department of Water" was established and headed by an engineering type person. Aqueducts were not built in any one particular place. They were built wherever they were needed. Several cities in the empire had aqueducts.
