Water Delivery Solutions Ancient Rome 9297380815099.jpg Water Delivery Solutions in Ancient Rome Prior to 273, when the very first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was established in Roma, inhabitants who dwelled on hills had to travel further down to gather their water from natural sources. During this time period, there were only 2 other technologies capable of supplying water to higher areas, subterranean wells and cisterns, which gathered rainwater. In the very early sixteenth century, the city began to make use of the water that flowed beneath the earth through Acqua Vergine to provide drinking water to Pincian Hill. Throughout the length of the aqueduct’s passage were pozzi, or manholes, that gave entry. During the roughly 9 years he owned the property, from 1543 to 1552, Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi made use of these manholes to take water from the channel in buckets, though they were initially established for the purpose of maintaining and maintaining the aqueduct. It seems that, the rainwater cistern on his property wasn’t good enough to fulfill his needs. To provide himself with a more effective means to assemble water, he had one of the manholes opened up, giving him access to the aqueduct below his property.
