Rome’s Early Water Delivery Solutions

Rome’s Early Water Delivery Solutions Prior to 273, when the very first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was established in Rome, inhabitants who resided on hills 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 technological innovations around at the time to supply water to locations of high elevation. In the very early sixteenth century, the city began to make use of the water that flowed beneath the earth through Acqua Vergine to supply water to Pincian Hill. Pozzi, or manholes, were constructed at regular intervals along the aqueduct’s channel. While these manholes were provided to make it less difficult to conserve the aqueduct, it was also possible to use buckets to pull water from the channel, which was carried out by Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi from the time he acquired the property in 1543 to his death in 1552. Although the cardinal also had a cistern to amass rainwater, it couldn't provide sufficient water. Rome’s Early Water Delivery Solutions 31518588997.jpg

Thankfully, the aqueduct sat just below his property, and he had a shaft established to give him access.

Use a Fountain To Help Improve Air Quality If what you want is to breathe life into an otherwise dull ambiance, an indoor wall fountain can be the answer. Your eyes, your ears and your health can be favorably impacted by including this kind of indoor feature in your house. The research behind this theory supports the idea that water fountains can favorably impact your health. The negative ions produced by water features are countered by the positive ions released by present-day conveniences. Indisputable favorable improvements in mental and physical health emerge when negative ions overpower positive ions. A rise in serotonin levels is experienced by those who have one of these water features making them more alert, peaceful and lively. The negative ions emitted by indoor wall fountains foster a better mood as well as remove air impurities from your home. They also help to reduce allergies, pollutants as well as other types of irritants. And lastly, dust particles and microbes in the air are eliminated and lead to improved health.
