If there are more and more of us willing to use a reusable water bottle instead, a problem still lingers: what do we do when it\u2019s empty and we don\u2019t want to have to purchase bottled water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sani-Fontaines wanted to help with a simple solution, an application available to everyone.

Imagine that, Romans back then had already realised the importance of providing clean drinking water to their citizens. They built a huge aqueduct: AQUA DI JULIA or LULIA. It was the very first aqueduct ever built and it stretched for miles, providing cleaner drinking water to the city inhabitants. Eventually, several extensions were added and that original aqueduct was used for centuries .
