A1.an aqueduct is a man made tunnel used to carry water over a valleyand through these pipes the water later gets filtered and goes to the faucets of the people that live around that area.
A2. the croton aqueduct was built to bring clean water to new york in the 1800's,instead of drinking that dirty contaminated water from the wells that everyone sick because they used to poop in the dirt wich cantaminated the water from the wells.
A3.the crotn aqueduct starts at ossining,NY and it flows down all the way to Manhattan,NY which is 42 miles away.
A4. i think developing because even though the croton aqueduct is pretty fancy and all it is still not 100% and it gets fixed every now and that means that is not at 100% which means its developing. like they are fixing that little bridge.
A5. i think that the best feature that the croton aqueduct has is that it is a couple hundred feet over manhattan. and it is esaier for water to flow downhill that to flow on flat land or up hill and the big tunnels make it easier for the water to flow.
