	The International Canal Monuments List - Part IIa - Individual Structures
		Across low-lying land, particularly outside towns, an aqueduct had to be raised high enough to give a sufficient "head" to the supply, and the use of arches both removed a potential barrier to communication and lessened the amount of stone required for construction.
		A navigable canal aqueduct was built on the Martesana Canal from the river Adda to Milan between 1462 and 1470.
		On the Ellesmere Canal, near Pontcysyllte, the earlier Chirk Aqueduct had a cast-iron base to the water-channel, and Telford went on to advise a further group of three very large aqueducts with cast-iron channels on the Glasgow and Edinburgh Union Canal in Scotland (see the section on "Technologically significant canals").
