Early Water Supply Solutions in Rome
Early Water Supply Solutions in Rome Rome’s first raised aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was built in 273 BC; before that, citizens residing at higher elevations had to depend on natural streams for their water. During this period, there were only 2 other systems capable of providing water to higher areas, subterranean wells and cisterns, which accumulated rainwater. Beginning in the sixteenth century, a newer method was introduced, using Acqua Vergine’s subterranean sections to supply water to Pincian Hill. During the length of the aqueduct’s network were pozzi, or manholes, that gave access. Whilst these manholes were provided to make it simpler and easier to preserve the aqueduct, it was also possible to use buckets to remove water from the channel, which was carried out by Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi from the time he bought the property in 1543 to his passing in 1552.
