Summary[edit]
DescriptionThe water supply and drainage system of Pella, Ancient Pella (7060059477).jpg | A vast number of drainage and water pipes attests ot the great concern shown for the health of the inhabitants. Water was brought from subterranean filaments to the city by means of channels cut into the natural rock. It was distributed to the buildings in the city, where there were fountains, wells and subterranean reservoirs, through clay pipes and large built conduits, with cleaning shafts at regular intervals. The main drainage consits of large built channels, rectangular in section, place at the side of the streets that ran north-south, so that the waste was carried off by the southward slope of the hill to the harbour of Pella. Household was carried to these main channels by smaller, built channels of rectangular section. |
