Aqueducts were water conduits which supplied fresh water to the cities. They carried it from the water sources on the mountains. The word comes from aqua (water) and duct (A channel or tube for conveying something). Most of them were underground pipes. The conduits were also placed on bridgework when the aqueducts had to cross valleys or when they were needed to maintain a gradient as they relied on gravity to make the water move.
