Where? Can't be any leaks. I'd love to see them. Or some key word to
go by to find out what they where thinking.

The Egyptians didn't have garden hose. They dug trenches, filled them
with water, and measured off the water surface. For work too high above
ground level to conveniently reference off water in a surface trench, they
erected troughs or connected two basins with clay pipe.
