Somewhat classical in design, the aqueduct is considered one of the biggest engineering feats in Alberta's history. It's not used now, but at one time it helped irrigate the nearby land and open it up for farming. The aqueduct can be viewed any time for free, there is a small charge to see the interpretive centre.
The Brooks Aqueduct is a defunct aqueduct, historic site and museum originally built by the irrigation division of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company during the early 1910s in Southern Alberta, Canada. The aqueduct was intended to irrigate a section of southeastern Alberta by diverting water east from Lake Newell from 1914 to 1979, and is located approximately 8 kilometres south of the City of Brooks. The main section of the aqueduct spans a 3.2 km valley at an average elevation of 20 metres. The structure has been designated a National Historic Site with an interpretive centre constructed nearby for tourists.
