if there was no water there would be no city

Diocletian aqueduct one seconds before my brother made his photo

Almost 2000 years old Roman water way (aqueduct) meant to supply the emperors palace, miles and miles long, still functioning at the moment bringing the water from the mountains to 250000 people now living below this point and in the centre of the city.

 

Just think of the precision of this undertaking, the water flow should be everywhere in the aqueduct same, there are no pumps or mechanics in it and even the most tiny mistake would make water curve out the stone and break the construction, though at this moment the aqueduct is enforced by modern technology and waterway inside the original structure is widened.
