Haiwee Reservoir

The Los Angeles Aqueduct consists of two roughly parallel pipe/channel systems. The original aqueduct was completed in 1913, and is gravity fed for its entire journey of over 200 miles to Los Angeles. A second aqueduct, roughly paralleling the original one, was completed in 1970. Both of these aqueducts flow into the Haiwee Reservoir, the southernmost reservoir in the "resource" (Owens Valley) end of the water supply system.

Emerging from the water at the southern end of the Haiwee are the intakes that draw the reservoir water into both the first (1913) and the second (1970) aqueducts. From this point to Los Angeles, the water flows only in troughs and pipes.
