Answer:
The Aqueducts in Rome were one of the only sources of water in some Roman provinces and hence helped extensively in agricultural, drinking and other survival purposes.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The aqueducts were built by the Roman provinces for industrial, household, public bathrooms, and even fountains.
- As the water source for Rome before the formation of aqueducts were the natural reserves, the Aqueducts were formed to ensure that these natural sources don’t get exhausted.
- The Aqueducts fetched water into the Roman provinces from outside sources for major purposes like drinking, private household, public bathrooms, and industrial purposes.
- The first Aqueduct built in Rome was in 312 BC that supplied water into the main city market.
- On seeing such comprehensive use of the Aqueduct, the Roman provinces started building more Aqueducts and by the end of 3rd century AD, about eleven more Aqueducts were built into the cities.
