About: Croton Aqueduct

An Entity of Type: architectural structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Croton Aqueduct or Old Croton Aqueduct was a large and complex water distribution system constructed for New York City between 1837 and 1842. The great aqueducts, which were among the first in the United States, carried water by gravity 41 miles (66 km) from the Croton River in Westchester County to reservoirs in Manhattan. It was built because local water resources had become polluted and inadequate for the growing population of the city. Although the aqueduct was largely superseded by the New Croton Aqueduct, which was built in 1890, the Old Croton Aqueduct remained in service until 1955.

  • Der Croton-Aquädukt ist ein Aquädukt für die Wasserversorgung von New York City, der 1842 fertiggestellt wurde und bis 1965 in Betrieb war. Das Wasser wurde einem Stausee am entnommen und durch einen 66 Kilometer langen Kanal nach Manhattan geführt. Der Croton-Aquädukt gilt als erstes großes Bauwerk der Wasserversorgung New Yorks und wurde deshalb im Dezember 1974 ins National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Im April 1992 wurden die Überreste des Bauwerks zu einem National Historic Landmark erklärt. Der auf dem Freispiegelstollen verlaufende Dienstweg war bereits zu Betriebszeiten ein beliebter Spazierweg bei der lokalen Bevölkerung und dient heute als Rad- und Wanderroute im Naherholungsgebiet von New York City. Ein großer Teil des Geländes, das vom Aquädukt und seinen Hilfseinrichtungen benutzt wurde, gehört heute zum Old Croton Aqueduct State Historic Park. (de)
