Steps Two & Three

2. What do I already know about the topic?
   
      Without researching the topic Water Power: Gravity Aqueducts, I know very little on the subject. However, I know that the Romans were partly responsible for the creation of Gravity aqueducts and were famous for it. These aqueducts were designed to bring water into cities for public use by using gravity to take it there. In a way, this was a type of irrigation because water was channeled from a lager body of water, such as a lake or river, and was directed downhill to a city or town. Even though I do not know much about this topic now, I hope to learn much more about it throughout the course of this project.

3. What do I want to know about the topic?

- How were the gravity aqueducts created? 
- Who is responsible for creating them first and what civilizations used them? 
- How do they function? 
- What are the good and the bad qualities of them?
- How are they built and how many resources and manpower does it require?
