My city is ancient, three thousand years, but there is no river. Well 
water tends to be salty, from the sea; mixed often. I don't know how 
they survived. I think the water in sufficient quantities arrived in 
1945, from a river 170 Km to the north. So before that year, houses here 
had no bathrooms, they were built since then as houses were provided 
with running water. Yet, I have not seen that network of pipes on the 
outside, except for rain water from the roof.
