Croton River
The Croton River ( ) is a river in southern New York with a watershed area of , and three principal tributaries: the West Branch, Middle Branch, and East Branch. Their waters, all part of the New York City water supply system, join downstream from the Croton Falls Reservoir. Together, their waters and the reservoirs linked to them represent the northern half of the New York City water system's Croton Watershed. Shortly after the confluence of the three Croton River branches the Croton River proper flows westward into the Muscoot Reservoir, joined separately from the north by the Muscoot River, a tributary. The Muscoot empties into the New Croton Reservoir, which feeds the New Croton Aqueduct, supplying water to the Jerome Park Reservoir in the Bronx for distribution in New York City. Excess water leaves the spillway at the New Croton Dam and empties into the Hudson River at Croton-on-Hudson, New York at Croton Point, about north of New York City. History The ...

New Croton Reservoir
The New Croton Reservoir is a reservoir in Westchester County, New York, part of the New York City water supply system lying approximately north of New York City.

Croton Watershed
The Croton Watershed is the New York City water supply system's name for its southernmost watershed and its infrastructure, an organized entity rather than a mere hydrological feature. Spanning large swaths of Putnam and Westchester counties in far southeastern New York State, it represents the drainage, flow, and operating systems of some seven rivers, one dozen reservoirs, and three controlled lakes falling within the Croton River watershed. Over in area, the Watershed holds some of fresh water. The vast majority of this ends up at the Jerome Park Reservoir in the Bronx via the New Croton Aqueduct, from which it is distributed. Water in excess of New York City's needs spills over the New Croton Dam at the New Croton Reservoir and is carried by the Croton River into the Hudson River at Croton-on-Hudson, New York, about 30 miles north of the Metropolitan area. Limited recreation is permitted within the Croton Watershed. Its guidelines and requirements are listehere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
New York City Water Supply System
The New York City water supply system is a combination of Aqueduct (water supply), aqueducts, reservoirs, and tunnels which supplies fresh water to New York City. With three major water systems (New Croton Aqueduct, Croton, Catskill Aqueduct, Catskill, and Delaware Aqueduct, Delaware) stretching up to away to the north, the NYC water supply system is one of the most extensive municipal water systems in the world. New York's Water purification, water treatment process is simpler than most other American cities. This largely reflects how well protected its Drainage basin, watersheds are. The city has sought to restrict Land development, development surrounding them. One of its largest watershed protection programs is the Land Acquisition Program, under which the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has purchased or protected, through conservation easement, over since 1997. With all the care given, the city's water supply system is partially exempted from fil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
