During the era of Arab domination, an irrigation canal (in Arabic "Sulu-lah") was rebuilt to irrigate the "castle garden". (Note: "Sulu" is not Arabic, water is called "Su" in Turkic languages.) Later the Mountain Slope was named after the irrigation canal "Sulu-lah" on which the area was built. This was the name of the district starting from the 19th century. The toponym "Sololaki" appeared in the 19th century. The earlier name of this place was "Avanaantkhevi". Here were the gardens of Georgian dignitaries. The development of Sololaki began in the first half of the 19th century. In 1847–1851, one section of the Sololaki gorge was covered (the current Leonidze Street and the region of Freedom Square). A caravan was built here (the first opera theater of Tbilisi was built In sololaki, though the building burned down in 1847). [2]

An aqueduct is a watercourse constructed to carry water from a source to a distribution point far away. In modern engineering, the term aqueduct is used for any system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels, and other structures used for this purpose. The term aqueduct also often refers specifically to a bridge carrying an artificial watercourse. Aqueducts were used in ancient Greece, the ancient Near East, ancient Rome, ancient Aztec, and ancient Inca. The simplest aqueducts are small ditches cut into the earth. Much larger channels may be used in modern aqueducts. Aqueducts sometimes run for some or all of their path through tunnels constructed underground. Modern aqueducts may also use pipelines. Historically, agricultural societies have constructed aqueducts to irrigate crops and supply large cities with drinking water.
