Why Did The Romans To Build The Aqueducts

Aqueducts were man made to make water go downhill from natural sources, a dam or reservoir were built to create a holding place for the water so the aqueduct would not run dry. Short feeder tunnels were built to catch water from springs, basins, or other water runoffs to be feed to the main channel as to keep water flowing for dry periods of when it wasn't raining. Aqueducts would have to be inspected often to make sure that the water isn't running at to steep of an angle, that would damage the channel over time, or run to shallow that it would be stagnate. The romans built the aqueducts in hilly regions to make sure they had enough fall in elevation.
Over the necessary distance the pipes stayed close to the surface following the contours
These people also got sick with dysentery from germs in the water, because the water gotten mixed up with sewage water. They also got tapeworm and other parasites. The aqueducts continued to help keep most germs out of the water supply. Rome had several springs within it's walls but it's groundwater wasn't the best. Water from the Tiber river was badly affected by pollution and waterborne diseases that’s when the cities first aqueduct was built. They used ceramic pipe to build the aqueducts because the led pipes had a higher amount of led in the water then in local spring water. The cocreate used for the lining of the aqueduct was usually waterproof which led to lasting a longer amount of time. Which it prevented erosion of the channel and less repair so they could keep the water flowing. Regular inspections by work patrol reduced accidental breaches, loose debris, or tree roots damaging the aqueduct. The Roman people would have to get the calcium carbonates in the pipes that would build up and make the channels narrow out to also keep it clean. There was an ongoing process of patrol inspections and cleaning so they didn't have to fully close down any of the aqueducts and make repairs when the water demand was lowest which was usually at night time. Big repairs would require the complete diversion of water at any point along the stream or right where the stream feeds into the aqueducts. The less maintenance performed, the less the supply of the water had to be disrupted, the wider the pipe opening the greater the flow of
