- It is the gold standard of urban water supplies. The New York City watershed was assembled during the 20th century, and the system’s underground aqueducts are considered an engineering marvel.

A Billion Gallons a Day | Living City | The New York Times

If they fixed all the leaks in the MTA bathrooms.. Private and public.. You would save about 10 million gallons a day.
That's the way it is.
That's probably small chips compared to water loss through cracks in the pipes
What MTA bathrooms
wait they have mta bathrooms
don't care I learned about the sewage water treatment plat for the East Bay CA. We have a couple massive overflow containers that I think can hold 11 million gallons of water. Those are only used when it’s raining, and water leaks INTO the sewage system. Imagine how much leaks out when it’s not raining which is most of the year here
Water is a precious commodity. Do not waste it. It will help you./.

Yes they do it just not as prolonged as out west
This is the beautiful part of the internet
A Living City...I love this series so much!
3:34 there was a glitch in the matrix
Proof that the Reptilians exist!
@@seanconnors9912 check the bottom left corner, alpha Dracaconia is there.
it happens every time he speaks i swear
Gem of a video.. Great insight in how New York became the Gold Standard of water supply standards for America.
chambers gary not just America but many parts of the world
my science teacher brought me here :/
Lol my social studies teacher brought me here
Thank you for educating me!
Bang, bang bang, all those musclebound men.....
Herrbink
Such a salient thing to leave in the video, LOL.
huge thank you for this!
Most definitely interesting and most definitely subscribing!
Fascinating
What an interesting video!
That guy looks like Emporer Palpatine
Remarkable. Very helpful video.
Thank you!
Yeah it’s clean until they pump it into the nasty water towers on top of buildings
And goes through the hundred year old pipes.
@@patricklarry6645 this is why I use BRITA
Love these videos and I'm not even from the U.S.
❤! Would like to see a part 2 from UV plant to residential users & fire protection…to include pump stations, sampling stations, hydrants…etc !!
Why didn't you mention all the water towers in NYC?
Hi kooky216, good question. Though water towers didn't come up in this video - which focuses on the watershed and aqueducts - we did a story on water towers earlier this year. You can watch it here: Inside New York City's Water Towers | The New York Times
Thanks for watching.
It's nice the nyt replies I wish they did the living city more often
3:34 my dude was glitching 😭🤚
I tried New York tap water recently and was pleasantly surprised. It's actually very nice. I live in Adelaide, Australia, and while the tap water is perfectly safe to drink it has a completely foul chlorine smell to it. Carbon based tap water filter systems are very common here to remove the foul taste.
I live in wangaratta,and the water is ok but has lots of Chlorine in it as well. when the guy in the boat spoke of the town being there under the water it reminded me of lake Hume. And of the town they relocated Tallangatta.
CatsMeowPaw thank you cool I miss drinking New York tap water I grew up drinking it . I live now in south east Asia it’s 100% not the same
If it keeps like that, then nyc will have consumed 3,5 quadrillion gallons of water in 100 years alone!
Hopefully we'll be harvesting astroids loaded with water at that point so that won't be an issue. 😅
Should do a video of the NYC DEP Police Officers that help protect the water supply everyday.
Nu Yoik's that best!
I drink straight out of my tap everyday!
#nyc
Whenever i go on a boat i pee in the water and i bet anyone that goes boating on that lake pees in it so you are probubly drinking pee.
hay woods thats not how that works
@SYAM SAQIB No its not. They just put UV light in the pipes and whatever is in it flows through.
New York city and every American city : every building receives water without pumping it from electric motors even they live on first floor or 100th floor
In Pakistan: you can't even get a glass of water on 2nd floor without pumping it through motors
lets goooooo
New York City water is so clean and of high quality that it is ranked as the best tasting and best quality.
When i mention this to New York City residents they laugh because they think that I am making a joke.
They don't understand all of the planning and hard work that goes into the water system.
When I show them on Google they are surprised a and amazed.
It just goes to show you.
I’m thirsty
Come further upstate and the water is clean enough to swim in ;) (just not the Hudson!)
2:45, am I the only one that sees this guy’s hair and head move weirdly??
He is a reptillian
Ya it moves wired ! 🤪
Thankfully nature also helps tremendously here--unlike LA, Miami, San Francisco, Houston and Atlanta, the NYC water supply has never been disrupted by prolonged drought. Precipitation in the mid-Atlantic and New England regions has always been plentiful and regular. It will remain so even under the worst case global warming computer models. Yay!
3:34 what happened to his face
1 billion U.S. gallons (1e+9 US gal) a day = 3.785412e+9 L a day, or 3,785,412 m³ a day.
I miss New York City water I live over seas now
Where ya at?
Frank wilson all I remember was an overwhelming chlorine taste and the fact it was always tepid.
Always Interesting where humanity places its priorities.
San Francisco copied your system in the early 20th century with the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, also gravity fed.
That one was a tragedy, filling up that valley.
that aqueduct runs through my city (Modesto) and we also get that same water that san francisco gets as well
Wanted to ask the lady talking bout the filters when she puts the fluoride in ??
3:34 wtf happened with his face
Reptoid shapeshifter
why not just use the Hudson river water ? I mean back then
Because, up until Kingston, the Hudson River is actually more of a tidal estuary with seawater and freshwater than a freshwater river which you can drink from.
Can i drink tap water tho?
Water in Las Vegas Nevada tastes like a swimming pool, yuck
Campervan Elvis I toof on you. I enjoy the delicious taste of swimming water
6:03 he said not to take it for granted and what you see? Water being wasted
22 comments, 392 👍 and over 32k views. Are the views artificially inflated?
Rachel Evans .. views from their website
After watching a video, folks are not required to like, dislike, nor comment on any video.
@@benjamincervantes1497
Yes, but with 32k views wouldn't you expect more then 22 comments?
Not only did they flood entire towns, they made so many regulations about not contaminating the water that forced people of their farms and out of their homes and a lot regulations are still in place today!
The Spanish Influenza I mean would you want fertilizer and pesticide runoff in your water? Yeah, you shouldn't be warming next to that, not the way we farm today.
The Spanish Influenza good
The Spanish Influenza if only you knew how ignorant you sound Rn
I 100% agree. An area once so prosperous with farms and community regulated out of land and farms have all but disappeared in the area creating a high percentage of poverty stricken communities with not many opportunities. They will expand and expand until nothing is left. They have even come for all of the affordable housing options and turned them into air bnb for their elite buddies from the city without a care in the world. They consume everything and buy everything reasonable or cheap and leave natural areas in ruins.
Where garbage can come from?
bruh this dude is glitching all over the place
I wish I would have been a citizen in US back when they were actually a great country
Yellow Waffle you can be a citizen of China,which replaced USA to be the greatest country in the world
yummy Yunnan lmaooo
@@yummyyunnan405 when?
:)
Wow. Only if some Africans without any water knew this.
We should help California with their drought.
we should give Texas back to Mexico when their next drought comes
Why is that one guy so hot
