Rome’s Early Water Transport Solutions

Rome’s Early Water Transport Solutions Aqua Anio Vetus, the first raised aqueduct built in Rome, began supplying the individuals living in the hills with water in 273 BC, even though they had counted on natural springs up until then. If inhabitants living at higher elevations did not have accessibility to springs or the aqueduct, they’d have to be dependent on the other existing technologies of the day, cisterns that accumulated rainwater from the sky and subterranean wells that received the water from below ground. To offer water to Pincian Hill in the early sixteenth century, they implemented the new strategy of redirecting the circulation from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct’s underground network. Spanning the length of the aqueduct’s network were pozzi, or manholes, that gave access. The manholes made it less demanding to thoroughly clean the channel, but it was also achievable to use buckets to pull water from the aqueduct, as we observed with Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi when he operated the property from 1543 to 1552, the year he passed away. Apparently, the rainwater cistern on his property wasn’t good enough to meet his needs. That is when he decided to create an access point to the aqueduct that ran underneath his residence.
