The 95.4 km long Roman aqueduct from Grüner Pütz near Nettersheim to the Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium supplied Roman Cologne with 20 million liters every day from around 80/90 AD to around 270/280 AD fresh water. Source: roemerkanal.de/bauwerk

The Roman aqueduct that supplied Cologne with water can still be seen in some places. It's impressive when you consider the means by which this line was built over many kilometers,

This piece of the Roman Canal is in the Mühlenpark. In 1972 the park was the scene of the second NRW State Garden Show. With a size of approx. 4.8 hectares including parking lot, it is conveniently located directly on the B 266 / B477 between Mechernich and Kommern and thus directly on the main traffic axis into the Schleiden Valley and the Eifel National Park.
The area extends behind the Mühlensee, which is fed by the Bleibach, which still runs on the eastern edge over the grounds of the park.
