New Croton Aqueduct, Water supply canal in Westchester County, United States
The New Croton Aqueduct extends 41 miles through underground tunnels and surface structures to transport water from Croton Reservoir to New York City.
Construction of this water infrastructure began in 1885 and finished in 1906, replacing the original aqueduct to meet growing water demands of New York City.
The aqueduct represents a turning point in urban development, enabling millions of New York residents to access clean water through modern engineering methods.
Regular maintenance and inspections ensure the continuous supply of potable water through the granite and cement structures of the New Croton Aqueduct system.
The aqueduct combines underground passages with surface structures, delivering three times more water capacity than its predecessor through gravity-powered flow.
