Imagine you're building a city, and it needs water to survive. But the water is far away in the mountains! So, people built big stone paths with water flowing through them like little rivers, these are called aqueducts. The water comes all the way down into the city, giving everyone fresh water to drink and use every day.
Examples
- A little boy drinks water from a fountain in ancient Rome, not knowing it came from a faraway mountain.
- A baker uses fresh water to make bread, thanks to an aqueduct built by clever engineers.
