Mulholland Aqueduct

The Mulholland Aqueduct is a historic concrete structure in Los Angeles that carries water from the Skeeter Creek watershed in the San Gabriel Mountains to the city’s water system. Built in the early 20th century, it is part of the larger Los Angeles Aqueduct project designed to supply reliable water to the growing city. The aqueduct follows a precise path over hills and valleys, utilizing gravity to transport water efficiently. Its engineering reflects early innovations in water conveyance, vital for urban development and public health, and it remains a notable example of functional infrastructure from that era.
