WPP: Caesarea Maritima
The ancient Roman aqueduct (about 25–13 BC) at Caesarea Maritima in Palestine, is a long aqueduct to channel water from the springs at the base of Mount Carmel, about 10 miles away from Caesarea.
In order to initiate water flow by the force of gravity, the arches and the gradient was meticulously measured.
No harm knowing some math for precision.
