Denver Aqueduct

The Denver Aqueduct is a system of pipelines and infrastructure that transports fresh water from distant sources, such as tributaries and reservoirs, to Denver, Colorado. It was built to ensure a reliable water supply for the city’s residents, agriculture, and industry. The aqueduct often spans long distances across mountains and plains, utilizing gravity and pumps to move water efficiently. Its construction supports Denver’s growth and sustainability by providing essential water resources from outside the immediate urban area, helping to meet the city's ongoing demand for clean, safe drinking water.
