Mokelumne Aqueduct, Water transfer aqueduct in Central California, US

The Mokelumne Aqueduct extends 95 miles from Pardee Reservoir to Contra Costa County through a system of underground pipelines and open channels.

The East Bay Municipal Utility District initiated the aqueduct construction in 1926, completing the first pipeline in 1929 to address regional water needs.

The aqueduct system delivers water to 35 municipalities across the San Francisco Bay Area, supporting the development of local communities and industries.

Three parallel steel pipelines, measuring 61, 67, and 87 inches in diameter, transport 325 million gallons of water daily to 1.4 million residents.

The water infrastructure crosses the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, incorporating specific engineering solutions to manage seismic risks in this geological zone.
