Answer:

Its purpose was removing water that pooled on the city's uneven streets and draining water from low-lying areas when the adjacent tiber river flooded,which happened quite frequently.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's main function was drainage and what it drained ran right back into Rome's drinking supply before the aqueducts.
