Water was valuable, the Elders used to take it from the phreatic layer and exploited from springs far from the city and from surrounding wadis, or they just collected rainwater. These waters were collected and stored in basins and tanks, to be redistributed to different pipes according to the intended use. Water was distributed through three networks: the first was for public fountains, the second to the baths and the last for rich mansions. Major water consumers, the baths were often the source of supply of water.
