Detailed explanation-1: -Aqueducts required a great deal of planning. They were made from a series of pipes, tunnels, canals, and bridges. Gravity and the natural slope of the land allowed aqueducts to channel water from a freshwater source, such as a lake or spring, to a city.
Detailed explanation-2: -aqueduct, (from Latin aqua + ducere, “to lead water”), conduit built to convey water. In a restricted sense, aqueducts are structures used to conduct a water stream across a hollow or valley.
Detailed explanation-3: -Aqueducts moved water through gravity alone, along a slight overall downward gradient within conduits of stone, brick, concrete or lead; the steeper the gradient, the faster the flow.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pont du Gard, France. Nazca Aqueduct, Cantalloc, Peru. Valens aqueduct, Istanbul. Aqueduct of Segovia, Spain. Hampi aqueducts, India. Les Ferreres Aqueduct, Spain. Inca aqueduct, Tambomachay, Peru. Aqueduct Park, Rome. More items •26-Aug-2016
