Detailed explanation-1: -The capital in Rome alone had around 11 aqueduct systems supplying freshwater from sources as far as 92 kilometers away (57 miles). Despite their age, some aqueducts still function and provide modern-day Rome with water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Engineers have built aqueducts, or canals, to move water, sometimes many hundreds of miles. Actually, aqueducts aren’t a high-tech modern invention-the ancient Romans had aqueducts to bring water from the mountains above Rome, Italy to the city.
Detailed explanation-3: -Engineering, construction and maintenance of the aqueducts. The Roman aqueducts not only provided drinking water for the Romans but indoor sewer systems that carried water away from the city and also supplied the bath houses with ample water, where the inhabitants of ancient Rome spent so much of their leisure time.
