Rome Topic 1

Plumbing

The Roman's had straight tunnels underneath their city 

with running water to get rid of trash and waste. These 

tunnels also kept the city from flooding in a large 

downfall, the water would gather in the streets, but 

with plumbing, they could put grates on the streets and 

water would go into there and not the streets. Also 

water could be transported from one place to another 

this way. We use this today in similar ways. We use 

plumbing to carry waste away and bring fresh 

drinking/cooking water to our houses. Also to keep our 

streets from flooding.
