Bukka’s Aqueduct, Hampi, India


Ambitious in its scale, this ancient aqueduct probably makes the high watermark of Hampi’s hydraulics projects. All what remains of this massive aqueduct is a tall section of a bridge like structure. The whole structure is built with rectangular dressed rock blocks. The unusual height for an aqueduct suggests the ambitious plan to lift huge quantities of water to a suburb located at an elevated plane. Source: www.hampi.in
