manmade channel for carrying water; The Nabataeans constructed tens of miles of water channels to deliver water by means of gravity from the surrounding area to Petra.
a canal or passage, especially for the conduction of a liquid
Large pipe or conduit to convey water from distant source.
A water-carrying bridge built to help the canal cross over a river or a low valley
An artificial canal for the conveyance of water, either above, on, or under the ground.
A structure designed to facilitate the travel over an existing river, stream or valley. An aqueduct was mostly built of wood or stone and carried the canal with a towpath over these obstructions.
an above ground canal built to move water from a remote source, usually by gravity.
A structure that carries a canal over a road, railway or other watercourse. Pont canal in French.
conduit that carries water; it may be elevated or subterranean.
a channel constructed to carry water by gravity from one place to another.
a conduit that resembles a bridge but carries water over a valley
a bridge that carries water, resembling a viaduct
a channel in which water flows by gravity
a construction that controls the flow of water
a kind of bridge by which water is carried over a stream
a kind of bridge that carries water
a kind of bridge thatcarries water, resembling a viaduct
a particular kind of bridge this transports water, resembling a particular viaduct
a structure designed to carry a waterway over an obstruction such as a ravine or a river
L. aqueductus, a conduit or canal. Cerebral aqueduct connects the fourth and third ventricles.
A structure similar to a bridge; for carrying water
a pipe or conduit made for conveying water.
A constructed system of canals, channels and/or pipelines to move water from one location to another. Irvine Ranch Water District receives about 50 percent of its water through the Colorado River Aqueduct and the California Aqueduct.
A structure for transporting water form one place to another by means of a pipeline, canal, conduit, tunnel or a combination of these things.
A channel that was built to carry water from springs and rivers to the towns
aqua (water), ductus (leading).
Man-made canal or pipeline used to transport water..
From the Latin for duct of water. An artificial channel for conducting water from a distance, which, in Roman times, was usually built overground and supported on arches.
Latin aqua = water, and ductus = drawn or led off, hence a channel for conducting fluid, e.g. the cerebral aqueduct of the midbrain, which transmits fluid from the 3rd to the 4th ventricle.
conduit used to convey water over a long distance; structure, often a bridge, that carries such a conduit or a canal across a valley or river
a structure that carries a canal across another body of water. Basin: a wider, deeper section of the canal, where boats can be moored and cargo loaded or unloaded.
A man-made canal or distribution system.
a structure for carrying a large quantity of flowing water from a distance via an artificial channel
A water-conduit, particularly one for supplying a community from a distance.
A pipe or channel, open or enclosed, which carries water. May also be used as part of a canal to carry boats. Sometimes carried by a bridge.
(1) A major conduit. (2) The entire transmission main for a municipal water supply that may consist of a succession of canals, pipes, tunnels, etc. (3) Any conduit for water; especially one for a large quantity of flowing water. (4) A structure for conveying a canal over a river or hollow.
a pipe, conduit, or channel designed to transport water from a remote source, usually by gravity.
An engineering structure designed to bring huge quantities of pure water into the city. The u-shaped stone channel that carries the water is at the top of the arcuated structure that is used to span valleys between the source and the city.
architectural structure for moving water from a source to a habitation site [image
Large pipe or conduit made for bringing water from a distant source.
An aqueduct is an artificial (human-made) channel that is constructed to convey water from one location to another. The word is derived from the Latin aqua, "water," and ducere, "to lead." Many aqueducts are raised above the landscape, resembling bridges rather than rivers.
Aqueduct (Peter van Zante), also known as the Water Wizard, is a super-villain in the Marvel Comics universe. Originally a Ghost Rider villain, Aqueduct has branched off and fought several other super heroes.
