Abstract
Modern day water supplies in the United States are supported by ground water, aquifers, lakes, and rivers. water from these sources is then distributed through a collection of pipes into almost all American homes and apartments. Although water distribution is still a very complex system, it is often taken for granted by the public because water is accessible at the turn of a handle day and night. This was not always the case, however Prior to the construction of the first roman aqueduct, wells, springs, and cisterns provided enough water to sustain cities throughout the roman Empire. As the population in roman cities increased, so, too, did the demand for water. Beginning in the 1st c. B.C., the increase in construction of bathing complexes which required large quantities of water further increased water demand.
