Some Hints

Use 'Hodge' as a starter for aqueducts in general and 'Aicher' as an introduction into the 11 aqueducts of Rome.
If these books are not available, use the papers of this website: 'Historical introduction' for aqueducts in general and 'Dembskey' as an intro to Rome's aqueducts.
For a dated but not outdated describtion of the aqueducts of Rome, the works of Esther B. Deman en Thomas Asbby are of invaluable value
There are also some introductory articles on the aqueducts on Rome, see the subsite Rome under Rome
