Water moves on a slope by gravity.

However, the Romans, discovered that if the slope was only 2o ( two degrees) from the horizontal, then the water would flow , without surging. To this end they built their aqueducts with this slope, so no machinery was required to make the water flow.

To lift water to a greater height, they used the Archimedean Screw., which was moved by a donkey/mule chasing a carrot around a rotating pole.
