An aqueduct is any set of elements that carries Template:L or Template:L from one location to another. An aqueduct is formed by a combination Template:Ls, Template:L, and natural or constructed Template:Ls and Template:Ls creating the path for the fluid to follow. Aqueducts can tap into the side of a natural source or use Template:Ls and gravity to get the fluid to flow to its destination.
Care needs to be taken in the creation of any aqueduct - namely, certain measures like roofing over channels and installing safety valves - are sometimes necessary in order to handle Template:L fluids. Since in-game pressure sometimes behaves in counterintuitive ways, it is generally a good idea to familiarize oneself with its mechanics before undertaking any large project, lest Template:L.
Below is an example of the most primitive type of aqueduct, the open surface channel.
