Aqueducts: The Answer to Rome's Water Challenges

Aqueducts: The Answer to Rome's Water ChallengesAqueducts: Answer Rome's Water Challenges 4768317534.jpg Rome’s 1st elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was built in 273 BC; prior to that, citizens residing at higher elevations had to depend on local springs for their water. When aqueducts or springs weren’t easily accessible, people dwelling at higher elevations turned to water drawn from underground or rainwater, which was made available by wells and cisterns. In the early sixteenth century, the city began to make use of the water that ran below the ground through Acqua Vergine to supply water to Pincian Hill. During its initial building and construction, pozzi (or manholes) were placed at set intervals along the aqueduct’s channel. Though they were primarily designed to make it possible to support the aqueduct, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi began using the manholes to accumulate water from the channel, opening when he purchased the property in 1543. He didn’t get enough water from the cistern that he had manufactured on his residential property to gather rainwater. To give himself with a much more streamlined means to obtain water, he had one of the manholes opened up, giving him access to the aqueduct below his residence.

Indoor wall fountains not only give you something attractive to look at, they also help to cool your home. They cool your residence by applying the same methods used in air conditioners and swamp coolers. Since they consume less electricity, they also help you save money on your monthly power bill.

Their cooling effect can be started by blowing fresh, dry air across them. Either your ceiling fan or air from a corner of the room can be used to improve flow. It is essential that the top of the water have air continually blowing across it. The cool, refreshing air produced by waterfalls and fountains is a natural occurrence. You will feel a sudden coolness in the air when you come near a sizable waterfall or fountain. Your fountain cooling system should not be installed in an area which is especially hot. Direct sunlight, for example, reduces the ability of your fountain to produce cool air.
