Water Management System of Augsburg, Historic water infrastructure in Augsburg, Germany.

The Water Management System of Augsburg comprises 22 listed objects, including flowing canals, Germany's oldest waterworks and oldest water tower, and the oldest waterworks supplied by deep wells fed by groundwater. Ten historic hydroelectric power stations are also part of the site. A network of Lech and Wertach canals and spring-fed streams in the city forest links the other objects across a protected area of about 113 hectares.

Augsburg's waterworks were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 6 July 2019 at the 43rd session of the World Heritage Committee in Baku, under criteria (ii) and (iv). The protected ensemble of 22 objects covers about 113 hectares, surrounded by a buffer zone of roughly 3,204 hectares. The city had submitted its application on 1 August 2012 under the title "Wasserbau und Wasserkraft, Trinkwasser und Brunnenkunst in Augsburg".

The three Prachtbrunnen on Maximilianstrasse are fed by a dedicated supply line that is itself part of the World Heritage listing. The Augustus Fountain, Merkurbrunnen and Herkulesbrunnen were built around 1600 and carry bronze figures of the city's founder Augustus, Mercury and Hercules. The Hercules figure is turned toward the cathedral, a detail visitors can spot.

Visitors can explore the system at various points, such as the fountains in the city center and the Hochablass weir on the Lech River. It helps to start with an overview of the locations to understand the connections between the different components.

The Hochablass weir on the Lech River was later modified to serve as an Olympic canoe course, showing how the historic infrastructure was adapted for modern use. This blend of old water technology and contemporary purposes reveals the system's flexibility.
