Los Angeles Aqueduct

The Los Angeles Aqueduct is a crucial water supply system that transports water from the Sierra Nevada mountains to Los Angeles, California. Built in the early 20th century, it spans over 400 miles and is vital for the city's growth, providing water to millions of residents and supporting agriculture. The aqueduct captures melting snow and rain from the mountains, channeling it through a series of pipelines and canals. While it has been instrumental in the region’s development, it has also raised environmental concerns, as it impacts ecosystems along its route.
