Early Water Delivery Solutions in Rome

Early Water Delivery Solutions in Rome Prior to 273, when the very first elevated aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was made in Roma, citizens who resided on hills had to journey even further down to get their water from natural sources. Over this period, there were only two other techniques capable of supplying water to higher areas, subterranean wells and cisterns, which gathered rainwater. Beginning in the sixteenth century, a new method was introduced, using Acqua Vergine’s subterranean sectors to generate water to Pincian Hill.Early Water Delivery Solutions Rome 8745611780970050.jpg As originally constructed, the aqueduct was provided along the length of its channel with pozzi (manholes) constructed at regular intervals.

It seems that, the rainwater cistern on his property wasn’t enough to satisfy his needs. Through an opening to the aqueduct that flowed underneath his property, he was able to meet his water desires.
