Rome’s Ingenious Water Transport Systems

Rome’s Ingenious Water Transport Systems Aqua Anio Vetus, the first raised aqueduct built in Rome, commenced supplying the people living in the hills with water in 273 BC, even though they had counted on natural springs up until then. Outside of these aqueducts and springs, wells and rainwater-collecting cisterns were the lone technologies around at the time to supply water to segments of greater elevation. From the beginning of the sixteenth century, water was routed to Pincian Hill by way of the underground channel of Acqua Vergine. During its initial building and construction, pozzi (or manholes) were installed at set intervals alongside the aqueduct’s channel. Even though they were primarily manufactured to make it possible to support the aqueduct, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi started out using the manholes to collect water from the channel, commencing when he acquired the property in 1543. The cistern he had built to collect rainwater wasn’t sufficient to meet his water requirements. Fortunately, the aqueduct sat just below his property, and he had a shaft established to give him access.
