aqueduct
Elevated water passage
An aqueduct is a channel or conduit built to carry water over long distances, typically from a source to a city or agricultural area.
The term often evokes the arched stone bridges the Romans built to maintain water flow across valleys: The ancient aqueduct still stands outside the city.
Any artificial channel for water transport qualifies, including modern pipelines and canals.
