Early Water Delivery Techniques in Rome

Early Water Delivery Techniques in Rome Rome’s first raised aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was built in 273 BC; prior to that, people residing at higher elevations had to depend on local creeks for their water. When aqueducts or springs weren’t available, people living at raised elevations turned to water removed from underground or rainwater, which was made available by wells and cisterns. To provide water to Pincian Hill in the early 16th century, they applied the emerging tactic of redirecting the movement from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct’s underground network. The aqueduct’s channel was made accessible by pozzi, or manholes, that were situated along its length when it was 1st constructed. Although they were primarily developed to make it possible to service the aqueduct, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi began using the manholes to collect water from the channel, starting when he acquired the property in 1543. The cistern he had constructed to collect rainwater wasn’t adequate to meet his water needs. By using an opening to the aqueduct that ran under his property, he was able to reach his water desires.
