“I was curious how much water these Roman aqueducts actually provided. Couldn’t find any. If you have any evidence, I’d be very interested.”
There were one heck of a lot fewer people then that there are now.
It is generally considered that Rome had a population of about a million. I was just wondering how much water that population used, relative to the amount used by modern American cities.
Also, AFAIK, the Romans never tried to irrigate massive areas using aqueducts.
“There were one heck of a lot fewer people then that there are now.”
In 100 AD Rome and it’s suburbs had a population of over 1.5 million.
Those ancient Roman aqueducts provided huge amounts of water.
