		The aqueduct, part of the Delaware Water Supply System of the New York City Board of Water Supply, starts at Rondout Reservoir on Rondout Creek near Lackawack, N.Y. From Rondout Reservoir, the water flows through the 137 km (85-mi) main tunnel to Hill View Reservoir at the N limits of New York City.
		The Delaware system was begun in 1937 and started delivering water to New York City in 1944.
		The maximum capacity of the system is about 3.5 billion liters (about 920 million gal) a day, but under a federal-interstate compact establishing the Delaware River Basin Commission, the city may normally withdraw only about 3 billion liters (800 million gal) a day.

		The aqueduct’s designer, the forty-two-year-old John A. Roebling—who later designed the Brooklyn Bridge—couldn’t possibly have foreseen the uses to which this creation, his third suspension structure ever, would later be put.
		The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, which then provided the only means of getting anthracite coal out of the region, had launched a $1.1 million plan to expand and speed up service.
		When the canal finally succumbed to the rails, in 1898, all the aqueducts were dismantled or abandoned except for the one at Lackawaxen, and the subsequent history of that structure is enough to make a preservationist’s blood curdle.

		The 74 mile Catskill Aqueduct has a capacity of 580 mgd and conveys water from Ashokan Reservoir to Kensico, a balancing reservoir, where it is intermingled with water from the Delaware system.
		Additionally water can be pumped into the Delaware Aqueduct in drought emergencies from the Hudson River at Chelsea, and from the Croton watershed by the hydraulic pumping stations at Croton Falls Reservoir and Cross River Reservoir.
		Modifications to DEP's Delaware District water quality monitoring program began in the early 1980's, based on the recognition that a comprehensive water quality program was integral to the City's efforts to protect the source of its drinking water.

		A second flawed assumption is that the water in the Delaware Aqueduct is consistently clear enough to make monitoring of the Hudson water a sufficient control mechanism to protect the West Branch.
		The intake of the Delaware reservoirs will be drawing water from the near empty reservoirs; water at these low levels will contain many of the solids that were settling in the reservoir.
		DEP also expects low flow velocities in the pump station’s baffled storage chambers to allow zebra mussels to settle out before being pumped into the Delaware Aqueduct. However, the veliger stage of zebra mussels is planktonic and these larvae are unlikely to settle.
