aqueduct system
Ancient water transport
An aqueduct system is the network of channels, pipes, bridges, and tunnels that carries water from its source to where it's needed.
Ancient Rome's aqueduct system supplied the city with fresh water from distant springs.
Modern aqueduct systems may span hundreds of miles: The Los Angeles Aqueduct system draws water from the Owens Valley.
