Watch Discovery Channel Documentaries online: Episode 24 Under New York

journey through the New York water system, from high above the upstate New York watershed through the underground infrastructure to its final destination at an apartment tap in New York City. Along the way, intrepid hosts John Rosiello and Christine McKinley jump from a plane, bike down the steep slopes of the Catskill Mountains, kayak down the raging creeks that feed into the reservoir system, go deep underground to unearth the hidden workings of the intricate dam systems, explore abandoned aqueducts and scramble dozens of stories above the city streets atop a New York apartment building. Given unprecedented access by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, Under New York goes underground with a crew digging an immense filtration plant deep in the earth and rappels down the face of a 240-foot dam with members of the specially trained DEP police team. The hosts join water crews on the streets of New York trying to trace buried water leaks and climb to the top of an apartment building where local guys are still doing things the old fashioned way when it comes to building a wooden water tower. Under New York celebrates engineering and ingenuity - and the people who make it all work and keep the water flowing. Under New York explores one of the greatest water systems of the world and takes viewers to places few have ever seen or can hope to see. Produced by Optomen Productions for Discovery, Under New York is an adventurous exploration of an engineering marvel.
