The Petra water system is an ancient network of channels used to bring water to the city of Petra in present-day Jordan. It was constructed in the first century AD by the Nabataeans, a civilization that inhabited the region.

The Petra water system was a remarkable feat of engineering. It consisted of dams, aqueducts, cisterns, and underground channels that would carry water from the nearby mountains and natural springs and distribute it throughout the city.

The Petra water system is a testament to the innovation and skill of the ancient Nabataeans in water management.i want to see comparison of Rome and Petra in their times ❤
