Roman water supplies were made up of underground pipes, most with pipes of various materials. The topographical and mathematical knowledge required for its realization was far superior to those assumed. Springs were the main source of supply for human consumption. However, most of the dams and arches considered as Roman in Spain do not present a constructive technique, or other conclusive evidence, that identify them as such.
