Aqueducts are great technology because they supply water to the cities and industrial sites such as gold, lead and tin mines, water mills, forges and baths. Also because they were one of the greatest engineering feats of the ancient world, because it was good health to have as pure water as they got. And for them to carry it not just to Rome but to other cities around like to the Greeks.(72)

The Aqueducts were vastly expensive to build and maintain, and the works were usually a liability to the community. The whole water-course through the aqueducts was public property; when the water arrived it was stored in reservoir buildings, castella, and piped thence to public fountains, baths, and private consumers, who paid a rent for the privilege.(67)

These Aqueducts brang large quantities of pure water from the distant hills. They were also carried as far as possible below ground. Aqueducts were the greatest contribution to architecture and public amenity in the world of ancient civilization, So they were extremley important to have. And we shuld be lucky they were invented.(83)

So you see Aqueducts mght have been expensive but they were most useful and outstanding pice of architecture built in the acient times of Rome. They supplied pure water for many cities including Rome. I would contribute my extra money on such a wonderful invention, and I think you would too. I also think that the Roman Aqueducts were really amazing and cool because they were built over 1000 years ago and they are still standing here today.  (68)
