Aqueduct buffs may find two reports of interest. One is the excellent final report of a Columbia University graduate preservation studio, held in the spring of 2011, during which the Friends, among many others, provided assistance. The title is The Croton Waterworks: A Guide to the Preservation and Interpretation of Historic Infrastructure. To view this 291-page illustrated report, go to

The second is a very readable article about research carried out by an American team in Rome on the Roman aqueduct Aqua Traiana, published in the March/April issue of the magazine Archeology. The link is >
