An aqueduct requires one stone (or other such material) per four squares. Metal aqueducts require one bar per two squares. Note that perfect efficiency is impossible due to the fact that aqueducts only increase along height and width by odd numbers (e.g. 1x1, 1x3, 3x3, etc.) The maximum length or width of an aqueduct is 9 tiles. | An aqueduct requires one stone (or other such material) per four squares.
