HFF! Uncovered historic waterway.

HFF! Uncovered historic waterway.
Every century or so as Madrid expanded after becoming the capital of Spain, water was needed in ever greater amounts and the mountains to the north supplied it.
This is an 18th century ruin showing one of the periodic attempts to keep up with the insatiable demand for water.

~~~Yes! Thank you all. Great comments!
We all agree that water is key. They knew this hundreds of years ago in Madrid as the population expanded. This is just one of many improvement in water provision over the centuries ~~~

In the US West there's a saying, "Water flows toward money," but I suspect that's true lots of places! ;)
