On the Cover: Innovative research has begun to focus on better understanding of the hydration status of individuals relative to their physical needs and overall diet. (See the articles collected in this Supplement to the JACN.) Hadrian, one of the Roman emperors of the Second Century known for their competent and ethical government, on visiting Carthage in 128, toward the end of a five-year drought, ordered an aqueduct built which would help prevent such a drought's recurrence. When first completed, the aqueduct ran from Mount Zaghouan to Carthage thirty-five miles away: toward the end of the century, under another emperor, Septimius Severus, construction was extended to Mount Djougar, with the finished aqueduct about fifty-four miles in length. By this time, it was bringing nearly eight million gallons of water to Carthage every twenty-four hours. The cover image of a still extant segment of the vast aqueduct was made to Mathiasrex [Maciej Szczepańczyk], who grants permission to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
