Water just blends into the greenery in your yard. Turn your water feature such as a pond, artificial river, or fountain to turn the core piece of your backyard. Water features make great add ons to both large gardens or small patios. The atmosphere can be significantly changed by placing it in the best place and using the right accessories.

Rome’s First Water Transport Systems

Prior to 273, when the 1st elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was made in Roma, citizens who lived on hillsides had to journey even further down to collect their water from natural sources. When aqueducts or springs weren’t available, people living at raised elevations turned to water pulled from underground or rainwater, which was made possible by wells and cisterns. From the early sixteenth century, water was routed to Pincian Hill through the subterranean channel of Acqua Vergine. All through the length of the aqueduct’s channel were pozzi, or manholes, that gave access. During the roughly 9 years he possessed the residence, from 1543 to 1552, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi used these manholes to take water from the channel in containers, though they were initially established for the objective of cleaning and maintaining the aqueduct. Despite the fact that the cardinal also had a cistern to collect rainwater, it couldn't provide sufficient water. That is when he decided to create an access point to the aqueduct that ran under his residence.
