Early Water Delivery Techniques in Rome
Early Water Delivery Techniques in Rome Previous to 273, when the 1st elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was made in Roma, inhabitants who lived on hillsides had to journey even further down to get their water from natural sources. Outside of these aqueducts and springs, wells and rainwater-collecting cisterns were the sole techniques around at the time to supply water to locations of high elevation. To provide water to Pincian Hill in the early 16th century, they implemented the emerging tactic of redirecting the current from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct’s underground network. Pozzi, or manholes, were made at standard stretches along the aqueduct’s channel. While these manholes were created to make it much easier to preserve the aqueduct, it was also feasible 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.
Though the cardinal also had a cistern to collect rainwater, it couldn't provide a sufficient amount of water. Fortunately, the aqueduct sat just below his residence, and he had a shaft established to give him access.
