CUNY Forum on Croton Water Supply
New York's Water Supply System: A Study in the Monumental

April 12, 6:30 p.m. - CUNY Graduate Center Auditorium

The New York City water supply system is a study in the monumental. Physical monuments like The High Bridge, carrying the Old Croton Aqueduct across the Harlem River, survive as reminders of the visionaries who conceived of and constructed this lifeline to the City's growing population. The Third Water Tunnel, though largely unseen by the general public but still being burrowed beneath city streets, represents a monumental feat of technology, engineering and construction. This forum celebrates the 100th anniversary of New York City's modern water supply system. Co-sponsored by the High Bridge Coalition, panelists will examine historic and contemporary aspects of New York's water supply infrastructure and its impact on our great city.

Moderator: Gerard Koeppel, author, Water for Gotham
Panelists: Joel A. Miele Sr., P.E., Former Commissioner, NYC Department of Environmental Protection, Diane Galusha, author, Liquid Assets, Robert Kornfeld, Jr., AIA, Vice President, Friends of the Old Croton Aqueduct, Representative from NYC Department of Transportation, Bridge Division, Representative from Local 147 Tunnel Workers Union
