Out of their construction boom, their most destructive artillery, and the innovation of water, I feel like the Roman Empire would have crashed a lot sooner than it did without everything they happened to do with the water. Most of what they have in the city has involved a large amount of water, like the bath houses, or the sewer systems.

During that time alone, water was so important and there was no way to get it unless you traveled so far or lived near a water source. But just to know that they managed to find a way to get so much water to the city that they could do whatever they pleased to do with it really does say a lot, in my opinion.…

This transportation of water and exchanged energy converts from one state to another driving the climate and weather system. This is the largest chemical flux on the planet It does not look like there is a starting point for this cycle. Water stores in lakes and the ocean, transpires into the air creating condensation, precipitation back onto the planet's surface creating runoff, running into the ground creating ground water, and eventually making its way back to lakes and the ocean. This terrestrial system is continuous supporting life on the planet.…
In many other Indian mythologies we find the wind brooding over the primeval ocean in the form of a bird.
