Aqueducts were once used to carry water from rivers using gravity. water flowing too quickly might damage an aqueduct, but water moving too slowing might not keep the aqueduct clear. one of the best and most common designs for an aqueduct was to raise it 3 meters for every kilometer in length. what is the slope of an aqueduct built with this design?
