WHAT DID THE ROMANS DO TO GET WATER TO THE TOWN ?

•The romans used aqueducts to get water to the town
•Aqueducts are used to convey watercourses across gaps such as valleys or ravines
•Large navigable aqueducts are used as transport links for boats or ships

•Aqueducts must stretch across at the same water level on each end
•Navigable aqueducts are water-filled bridges to allow vessels on a waterway to cross ravines or valleys.

•Bridges were a distinctive feature of Roman aqueducts which were built in all parts of the roman empire, from Germany to Africa, and especially in the city of Rome

Conclusion
The Roman Empire invented the aqueducts in the year 300 B.C. Where until now we are using their legacy with more advanced technology in engineering.
