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.
Rome's most successful invention was the Roman Roads and aqueducts. These were very successful in the Anceint Times and are still used up until today. Aqueducts were water basins used to carry water to cities and states from the distant shores. I hope this answered your question. By the way, are you cheating on your homework...i am!
Romans discovered it- they used the aqueducts to provide drinkable water to serve its large cities and industrial sites.
Aqueducts, concrete, & highway system (Road - Mile Stone).
The structure that ancient Rome used for its water system was the aqueduct. From the aqueduct there were holding cisterns and pipes that would divert water to where it was used, such as the baths, private homes or some farms.
It wasn't. Aqueducts were made of stone, engineered to amazingly exact specifications, then polished and smoothed. Lead was actually advised against for the use in aqueducts, for its toxicity, by Vitruvius in De Architectura.
Yes, many of the above ground aqueducts have survived in spite of wars. The underground aqueducts have also survived and some of them are even being used today.Yes, many of the above ground aqueducts have survived in spite of wars.

Rome
Yes, some Roman aqueducts are still in use today. The city of Rome itself uses the Roman aqueducts and there are working aqueducts in Britain. There are likely other places as well.
The colosseum and aqueducts
I guess you mean the Roman aqueducts. Aqueducts (water conduits) are still used today. The Roman aqueducts are still talked about because they were marvels of ancient Roman engineering and ruins of their amazing bridgework are still standing in various parts of Europe, Western Asia and North Africa.
Aqueducts were used to transport water to the city of Rome. the water was used for drinking in public fountains. The rich had water brought to their house from the aqueducts. Aqueducts were slightly slanted so the water constantly ran to the destination and could be many miles long.
The ancient Romans used aqueducts to bring water to their cities.
There are many still standing today.
