Water Management System of Augsburg, Historic water infrastructure in Augsburg, Germany.
The water management system integrates 22 components, including canals, water towers, fountains, and hydroelectric power stations across a 113-hectare protected area.
Dating from 1416, the system established separate networks for drinking water and industrial use, making Augsburg a leader in water management technology.
Three Renaissance fountains built after 1585 in the city center display bronze figures representing Mercury, Augustus, and Hercules as symbols of water abundance.
The network includes the oldest waterworks in Germany, powered by groundwater-fed deep wells that supplied fresh water to inhabitants for over four centuries.
The Hochablass weir on the Lech River connects to modern facilities, including an Olympic canoe course constructed for the 1972 Summer Games.
