Abstract
The image shows four views of facilities for New York City's water supply from the Catskill watershed. In 1905 the New York State legislature passed an act allowing the City to acquire lands and build water control structures in the Catskills for its water supply, including the East Delaware Tunnel, West Delaware Tunnel and the Rondout Tunnel (Delaware Aqueduct). The Rondout Reservoir (Rondout Reservoir) was placed into service in 1951 and completed in 1954.
