Noria Alta - Izzenhood - 08-23-2020
Does anyone know how the water was lifted to the aqueduct at Noria Alta? Was there a water wheel outside of the round structure, or was there some kind of mechanism inside the structure?

"Noria" means "water wheel," so presumably one was involved.

Thanks Don.
This photo is of a different noria than Noria Alta. I don't see a water wheel in this photo or in the second photo which shows Noria Alta, Guanajuato. I can't help but think that there's some other kind of water lift mechanism.
