water conduit

Channel for flow

A water conduit is a channel, pipe, or passage for conveying water from one place to another.

The term covers everything from ancient aqueducts to modern municipal pipes: The city's main water conduit runs beneath the downtown district.

Conduit emphasizes the structure's function as a pathway rather than a container.
