Quote:Related TopicsFrom the link providedAqueduct, ( Latin aqua + ducere, "to lead water" ) man-made conduit for carrying water. In a restricted sense, aqueducts are structures used to conduct a water stream across a hollow or valley. In modern engineering, however, aqueduct refers to a system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels, and supporting structures used to convey water from its source to its main distribution point. Such systems generally are used to supply cities and agricultural lands with water. Aqueducts have been important particularly for the development of areas with limited direct access to freshwater sources. Historically, aqueducts helped keep drinking water free of human waste and other contamination and thus greatly improved public health in cities with primitive sewerage systems.

Although the Romans are considered the greatest aqueduct builders of the ancient world, qanāt systems were in use in ancient Persia, India, Egypt, and other Middle Eastern countries hundreds of years earlier. Those systems utilized tunnels tapped into hillsides that brought water for irrigation to the plains below. Somewhat closer in appearance to the classic Roman structure was a limestone aqueduct built by the Assyrians about 691 bce to bring fresh water to the city of Nineveh. Approximately two million large blocks were used to make a water channel 10 metres (30 feet) high and 275 metres (900 feet) long across a valley.

So Minnie... where is Jerusalem again? Is it located in the far east? Maybe it's considered to be in the western hemisphere.. Hmmmm.. Idk, oh wait It's in the middle east, actually right in the heart of the region where this article says aqueducts were first used/created, that the Romans latter on perfected. Which makes perfect sense because as you were so astute to point out this region is very dry and arid. So for their to be any city not built on a river or a lake to have existed water had to be piped in.
Now do I need to pull up a map of Jerusalem for you to see it was not built on a water way so water had to be 'piped in?'
