Aqueducts supply waters to cities and towns. If you are referring to Roman aqueducts, they are obsolete for two reasons. One is that they have fallen in disrepair due to centuries of neglect. The other is that they relied solely on gravity to move the ware. They were built at a gradient for this. Modern water needs require aqueducts which pump the water with machines.
One aqueduct in Rome was restored and supplied water to a large area of the city centre. However, in recent decades, due to soil pollution, it has been used only to supply then famous monumental fountains of this area, including the famous Trevi fountain.
