"The water management system of the city of Augsburg has evolved in successive phases from the fourteenth century to the present day. It includes a network of canals, water towers dating from the 15th to the 17th century that housed pumping machines, a water-cooled butchers' room, a system of three monumental fountains and hydroelectric power stations that continue to provide durable energy. The technological innovations generated by this water management system have helped to make Augsburg a pioneering city in hydraulic engineering."
