The Acre Aqueduct (Hebrew: אמת עכו, Acco Aqueduct), better known as Pasha's Aqueduct is a now-defunt aqueduct in the Western Galilee region of northern Israel. It was refurbished by Jezzar Pasha, Ottoman ruler of Acre and the Western Galilee from 1775 to 1804. It was destroyed by Napoléon in 1799 during the Siege of Acre. The original used pipes to transport the water. The surviving open-channel structure scene today was completely reconstructed by Jezzar's son, Suleiman from 1814-1815. It was operational until 1948. Its source is in the Kabri Spring.
Though mostly underground, portions of the aqueduct are visible above ground, including two well-known sections on Kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta'ot.[1][2][3][4][5]
