Mokelumne Aqueduct, Water transfer aqueduct in Central California, US

The Mokelumne Aqueduct is a water transfer system in Central California that carries water from Pardee Reservoir to communities in the Bay Area. The system connects multiple regions through underground pipelines and open channels.

Construction of the aqueduct began in 1926 under the direction of the East Bay Municipal Utility District, with the first pipeline completed in 1929. This infrastructure was built to meet the region's growing water demand.

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

The best way to understand the aqueduct system is to visit from various viewpoints and information centers scattered across the region. Plan your visit in the early morning for the best views and fewest crowds.

The system crosses the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta with special engineering solutions to manage seismic risks in this vulnerable geological zone. These adaptations show how infrastructure is designed to remain stable even in earthquake-prone areas.
