The Latin word aqueduct is composed by two words Latin words aqua (water) and duct. The Aqueducts were water conduits which brought fresh water from the mountains to the cities. It is thought that the Romans built some 770 aqueducts around the Roman Empire. Most of them were underground conduits. When a valley had to be crossed, or when a gradient needed to be kept (the water was moved by gravity) the ducts were on top of bridgeworks.
