where does the new york city drinking water come from that flows through the new croton aqueduct?
new croton reservoir
lake shenorock has no named tributaries but water released from lake shenorock flows into the amawalk reservoir. water which is either released out of amawalk reservoir flows south in the muscoot river and eventually enters the muscoot reservoir, and then flows into the new croton reservoir. the water enters the new croton aqueduct, which sends water to the jerome park reservoir in the bronx, where the water is distributed to the bronx and to northern manhattan. on average, the new croton aqueduct delivers 10% of new york city's drinking water. the water that doesn't enter the new croton aqueduct will flow into the hudson river at croton point.

the new croton aqueduct is an aqueduct in the new york city water supply system in westchester county, new york carrying the water of the croton watershed. built roughly parallel to the old croton aqueduct it originally augmented, it opened in 1910. the old aqueduct remained in service until 1955, when supply from the delaware and catskill aqueducts was sufficient to take it off line.









































waters of the new croton aqueduct flow to the jerome park reservoir in the bronx for distribution within the city.
