History

What mechanism ensured consistent aqueduct flow despite pressure variation?

A)Calibrated overflow weir
B)Automatic pressure relief valve
C)Variable-geometry channel
D)Hydrostatic pressure regulator

💡 Explanation

Roman aqueducts used an overflow weir at multiple points, using gravity to equalize flow above a fixed height because excess volume spills over, thus maintaining constant discharge rates rather than relying on complex pressure regulations.
