Summary

[edit]
Description
Español: Levantado a comienzos del siglo XVI, es la obra de ingeniería hidráulica más importante levantada durante ese siglo en el continente americano. Su arcada más conocida, la que atraviesa la barranca de Tepeyahualco, se ubica entre los límites del Estado de México y el Estado de Hidalgo. Comúnmente se le conoce como "Arcos de sitio" o "Acueducto de Zempoala", esta última designación ya que parte del acueducto pasa por ese municipio hidalguense.

Se sabe que la obra se levantó a instancias del Padre Fray Francisco de Tembleque, oriundo de Toledo, España, quien con un grupo de 400 indígenas al mando del maestro en cantería Juan Correa de Agüero decidió llevar a cabo tal empresa entre los años de 1543 y 1560 (no se conocen las fechas exactas del inicio y su conclusión) motivado por la escasez de agua en la región y por el acaparamiento de la poca que existía por parte de los colonos españoles.

La obra tiene una longitud total de 48 kilómetros. Se origina en los manantiales de las faldas del volcán de Tecajete y cruza lomas, cerros, 3 barrancas, poblados y haciendas, hasta llegar a su destino final: La ciudad de Otumba, cabecera del municipio homónimo.

Si bien se conocen por su arcada, más del 90 por ciento del acueducto corre bajo tierra, y solo un 3 por ciento pasa por la arquería que está conformada por 3 puentes; el porcentaje restante pasa a nivel del suelo.
