Victorians did not bathe as regularly as we do today because many people lived in poor conditions. Until the late Victorian period many people lived without running water to their homes. You would have to fetch your water from a well or a local pump. The only way of heating this water was then by fire, so you can imagine how much time and effort you would have to go through to have a bath. In Victorian times it was common practise to go to public bath houses, a bit like public swimming pools but you would go there to wash and to socialise. Males and females always bathed seperatly.
Bread and water
they used flood control. they built their houses on high ground so that the flood water would not destry their houses
Around 180 ago seems reasonable. A bathtub of some sort was put in around 1830 when running water was added, mostly for fire protection. My understanding is that they had a boiler in which water was heated, but no hot running water, so the tub would have to be filled via buckets . It was around 20 years later that hot running water was put in.
The aqueducts gave them a clean water supply and it was technologically advanced water transport system. Roman engineers who built their roads and bridges and siege warfare weapons helped to build the Roman empire.

There was running water and plumbing in a way.
The wealthy did not actually have private water supplies, they got their water from the aqueducts like everyone else. However they had to pay for the water and for the piping to get the water to their homes. They wanted running water in their houses for the same reasons that we do, convenience, and in ancient times running water was a status symbol.The wealthy did not actually have private water supplies, they got their water from the aqueducts like everyone else.

The Roman baths were a cultural custom and their presence evolved over a period of time. It is not known when the baths were developed nor who "invented" them. When we read about the Roman baths, even the very early ones, they are already developed into the form (hot, warm, and cold rooms) with which we are familiar.
What did rich Victorian families eat for dinner and for special functions?
Running water and indoor plumbing are two things that citizens take for granted today. Water first started free flowing into homes in 1869.
Much more difficult, since people lacked: 1. Electricity 2. Gas 3. Toilets 4. Running Water
My bet would be the hot water heater cycling water through
I would check the toilets, that is about the only place water could be getting into the drain without seeing it.
From most lakes. There is no problem drinking tap water in Norway.
I think it is settlement houses, that is what I am putting on my history paper.
The cities were planned and laid out with roads in a grid system, sewers and running water to houses, before being built.
