Sources of water
• Springs were the most common source for roman aqueducts.
River intakes were used occasionally. Artificially created lakes
as a source were rare.
Infiltration Galleries
20 - 100 m long which ran along a hill side to intercept the flow
of water that trickled out of the splits in the wall into the gallery.
At one side the water was collected into a settling basin to get
rid of the debris and sediments
