Everything about The Cannonsville Reservoir totally explained
The
Cannonsville Reservoir is a
reservoir in
Delaware County, New York, that was formed by impounding over half of the
West Branch of the Delaware River. It is the westernmost of
New York City's reservoirs, being at the western portion of the Delaware Watershed. Placed in service in
1964, it's the most recently constructed New York City-owned reservoir. The town of
Cannonsville was destroyed to make room for the reservoir.
It has the largest drainage basin of all of the NYC reservoirs, being at 455 square miles (728 km²). The reservoir's capacity is 95.7 billion
gallons (36.2 million m³). This water flows over halfway through the reservoir to enter the 44-mile (70.4-km)
West Delaware Tunnel in
Tompkins, New York. Then it flows through the aqueduct into the
Rondout Reservoir, where the water enters the 85-mile (136-kilometre)
Delaware Aqueduct.
The Delaware Aqueduct then continues through the
West Branch Reservoir and the
Kensico Reservoir in
Westchester and
Putnam counties north of the city. The aqueduct continues further south through the
Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers, and then continues through
The Bronx,
Queens, and
Brooklyn, eventually ending in
Staten Island, providing New York City with about 50% of their drinking water.
