Aqueducts: The Solution to Rome's Water Problems
Aqueducts: The Solution to Rome's Water Problems Prior to 273, when the very first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was built in Roma, citizens who resided on hills had to travel even further down to collect their water from natural sources.
During this period, there were only 2 other systems capable of providing water to high areas, subterranean wells and cisterns, which accumulated rainwater. To furnish water to Pincian Hill in the early sixteenth century, they implemented the new tactic of redirecting the stream from the Acqua Vergine aqueduct’s underground network. Through its original building and construction, pozzi (or manholes) were positioned at set intervals alongside the aqueduct’s channel. The manholes made it easier to clean the channel, but it was also possible to use buckets to remove water from the aqueduct, as we discovered with Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi when he bought the property from 1543 to 1552, the year he died. The cistern he had constructed to gather rainwater wasn’t satisfactory to meet his water requirements. Thankfully, the aqueduct sat under his property, and he had a shaft opened to give him access.

Living spaces including big yards, yoga studios, comfortable verandas, apartment balconies, or office settings are great areas to add a water feature such as a garden wall fountain.
