Nidd Aqueduct
The Nidd Aqueduct is an aqueduct or man-made watercourse in Yorkshire, England. It feeds water from Angram and Scar House reservoirs in upper Nidderdale, North Yorkshire to Bradford in West Yorkshire. The aqueduct supplies of water per day to Chellow Heights water treatment works. The aqueduct and the reservoirs it connects to are all maintained by Yorkshire Water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.yorkshirewater.com/byelaws )〕
== History ==
In 1892 Parliamentary Powers were granted for the city of Bradford to dam the River Nidd and its tributary Stone Beck in upper Nidderdale, and to build a conduit that delivered the water by gravity to Chellow Heights in Bradford. As Bradford has no major rivers running through it, the city needed fresh water for drinking and to be able to process wool (fulling). At that time, both Nidderdale and Bradford were in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
The first reservoir (Gouthwaite)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://uppernidderdale.org.uk/historic-nidderdale/rich-history/modern-era/ )〕 was started in 1893 so that the water supply to the lower Nidd valley would not be interrupted when work on the upper dams began. In 1904 Bradford Water Works Corporation initiated the building of the next two reservoirs in the scheme in upper Nidderdale. Scar House and Angram reservoirs were constructed by James Watson and Lewis Mitchell respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.engineering-timelines.com/scripts/engineeringItem.asp?id=1138 )〕 The aqueduct was constructed by Morrison & Mason Ltd.
