The Roman city of Trier (Augusta Treverorum) was supplied with water by the Roman Ruwer Aquaduct, which delivered up to 25,000 cubic metres per day.
In A.D. 371, the Ruwer was mentioned by the Roman poet, Ausonius, in his poem, Mosella as follows: "The Ruwer turns the corn-grinding millstones in giddy whirls and draws the shrieking saws through smooth marble blocks."
