      This map always gets me so salty because the city’s always like „our pizza.. cause of the watah“ meanwhile that pizza water is pumped down to them from my back yard basically. And we upstaters never get a „thanks for keeping our pizza water so great“ or a „thanks for not letting your dog take a dump by the ashokan“. Meanwhile my well water has botulism 🙄

      It’s fascinating engineering, and a testament to what can be done with „big plans.“

      Imagine today saying to people „hey, we’re gonna flood your entire town to provide water to a city 100 miles away.“

      I always find it weird that in discussions of systematic oppression and eminent domain that the government came in and leveled a bunch of towns to get the reservoirs for NYC. I’d be salty af if I was just booted out for a city that continually shit talks the rest of the state.

      Fascinating. I remember learning about the tunnelers (sand rats?) that dug Croton aqueduct. I never knew about the Catskills projects. Looks as impressive as the LA aqueducts.

      It’s kind of a beautiful system. Excellent water, large areas with a degree of ecological protection. I enjoy some snowboarding in Belleayre, in the middle of the Catskills, when I’m in the east.

      Doesn’t Philadelphia also get tap water from these same mountains?

      I love this map. The inner-connectedness of this system is impressive. New York is very lucky to have this system as it will likely ensure water scarcity will not plague the city like others in the SW and similar spaces that can’t pull from such vast natural water resources.

      I remember seeing a documentary once about how they built those aqueducts. I think it was called “Die Hard with a Vengeance.”

      There’s really no reason to leave off some of the cities around there that help people understand where the drainage is coming from.
