Aqueduct

An aqueduct is a structure built to transport water from a distant source to where it is needed, often across valleys or uneven terrain. Traditionally made of stone, brick, or concrete, aqueducts use a slight incline to allow gravity to move water efficiently over long distances. They have been used since ancient times for irrigation, city water supply, and other applications. Modern equivalents include pipelines and canal systems. Aqueducts are engineering feats that enable reliable water delivery, supporting agriculture, urban life, and industry, while often becoming notable architectural landmarks due to their design and construction.
