Mocó Reservoir, Renaissance water reservoir in Adrianopolis, Manaus, Brazil

The Mocó Reservoir features a cast iron interior structure covered by exterior masonry walls containing seven arches and decorative windows on the second floor.

The water reservoir, constructed between 1896 and 1899 under architect Frank Hirst Hebblethwaite, served to supply water to the growing population of Manaus.

The National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage recognized the reservoir as a national monument in 1985, marking its importance to Brazilian infrastructure.

The reservoir continues to function today, providing water supply to multiple neighborhoods in Manaus through the municipal water distribution system.

The structure stands near a small waterway called igarapé do mocó, which influenced both its name and strategic placement for water management.
