Inside the £20m refurb for the Katrine Aqueduct that helped rid the nation of cholera

It was hailed as one of the world s greatest engineering feats of its day and helped transform the health of citizens across the central belt. Opened by Queen Victoria on October 14, 1859, the original Katrine Aqueduct was an integral part of the loch that has been the primary water reservoir for much of the city of Glasgow and its surrounding areas, serving more than 1.3m people. The Loch Katrine system - now made up of two aqueducts that are 25 and 23 miles in length from the loch to treatment works north of Glasgow, provides about 110 million gallons of water a day. Now a £20m upgrade to the original Victorian aqueduct has been unveiled - and the great-granddaughter of the man who helped build the megastructure has welcomed the development.

Miller with assistance from museum director Alfred H. Barr Jr. and arts impresario Lincoln Kirstein. The Georgia Museum of Arts exhibition includes works originally presented in MoMAs show, including paintings by Ivan Albright, Paul Cadmus, Z. Vanessa Helder and Patsy Santo, as well as other . More
