What is an "aqueduct"?
An aqueduct is a structure designed to transport water from one location to another, usually over long distances. It often consists of a series of channels or pipes, sometimes elevated on arches or bridges, to carry water across valleys or obstacles. Aqueducts are commonly used in agriculture, urban areas, and for irrigation, ensuring a reliable water supply. They can be made from various materials, including stone, concrete, or metal, and are important for delivering water to communities and supporting agricultural activities.
