Best Answer

The advantage of having aqueducts in a city such as Rome, was actually conducive to the city's growth. Fresh water was a major problem in many ancient cities. The natural water supply could usually support a limited number of people in many communities. Rome, with its constant water supply system, could support a larger population. Other advantages were the elimination of health problems stemming from bad water, and the assistance water gave in dousing small fires before they could spread.

Pipes or bridgeworks that carried water. Aqua = water, duct= someone/something that leads.; i.e. a structure that lead (carries) water. They were built to take water where it was needed. Rome had 11 aqueducts that brought water from the nearby hills.
