"The water management system of the city of Augsburg has evolved in successive phases from the 14th century to the present day. It includes a network of canals, water towers dating from the 15th to 17th centuries, which housed pumping machinery, a water-cooled butchers’ hall, a system of three monumental fountains and hydroelectric power stations, which continue to provide sustainable energy today. The technological innovations generated by this water management system have helped establish Augsburg as a pioneer in hydraulic engineering."
奥格斯堡水利管理系统
"奥格斯堡市的水利管理系统自14世纪至今已经历了数个阶段的发展。该水利系统由以下几部分组成：运河网络、数个历史可追溯至15-17世纪的水塔（内部为抽水装置）、1座水冷式屠宰行业建筑、3个雕塑喷泉系统以及仍在为奥格斯堡提供可持续能源的水电站。该水利管理系统产生的技术创新让奥格斯堡成为发展水利工程的先驱城市。"
