A river in honor of a city or a city in honor of a river?
This issue is still being discussed today, but most historians are convinced that it was the river, not the city, that got its name first. One of the theories claims that the word "Moscow" itself is Finnish, and has nothing to do with Russian speech. Consequently, the river got its name during the habitation of Finnish tribes on its banks. "Mosk" in translation means "bear", and "wa" - "water". Another popular version - in the ancient Slavic name of the Mosva River means damp or marshy area.
Moscow aqueduct, rather only a fragment. This is the only surviving structure of the first in Moscow, and in Russia, gravity water pipeline - the Rostokinsky aqueduct. The bridge passes over the Yauza, is made of limestone, has 21 arched spans, up to 15 m high, 356 m long. Architects - engineer F.V. Bauer and Colonel I.K. Gerard.
The need for a water supply system in Moscow became especially acute after the plague of 1771, and in 1780, by decree of Catherine II, its construction began. Periodic indignations of the residents, through whose lands he passed, restless groundwater, ordinary Russian theft (the cost of water supply amounted to more than 1,600,000 rubles) delayed construction for 25 years. The year of birth of the Mytishchi water pipeline was 1804, and the largest stone bridge for that time, the Rostokinsky aqueduct, was built earlier, in 1783–1784.
The aqueduct ceased to be used for its intended purpose at the end of the 19th century.
In 2006-2008. The Rostokinsky aqueduct was freed from the heating main, put in order, restored, received a decorative roof and became a pedestrian. A pleasant park was laid out around it.
