Where are Roman aqueducts still used today?
Yes, we use pipes and pumps today in the US and other “modern” countries, but in Latin class (about 28 years ago) we were taught that ancient Roman aqueducts still supplied water to some European communities. Perhaps the EU (European Union) has “improved” this situation since, but the aqueduct required only the immutable force of gravity, as water flows to the lowest point, while our modern system requires electric power to force the water through the pipes. It is a dubious improvement in times of power failure.
