Built for an under-seen public square in Boston, this perpetual watwering system was constructed to care for the plants and to serve as an element of visual delight. The aqueduct takes an ordinary task, watering the garden, and turns it into a public ceremony by way of a ‘fountain.’This aqueduct consisted of two holding tanks connected by bamboo sluices. A volunteer filled each of the tanks once a day, opebned the valves, thereby allowing the aqueduct to gradually irrigate the entire garden; a trickle meandering along elevated waterways, and out through a series of perforations.
