New York City water supply system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New York City's water supply system has grown from a few wells on Manhattan Island to one of the America's most extensive municipal systems. Today, it relies on a combination of tunnels, aqueducts and reservoirs both in the city and far upstate to meet the daily needs of 8 million residents and countless visitors.
