How much water could the canal and fountain system handle?
All of the fountains, all the way down to 16, were established to handle about 25 gallons per minute maximum. In the event that run-off water came into the canal during heavy rainfall, the Inca engineers provided two safety valves, one in the middle of the agricultural zone—it would discharge out onto the agricultural slope and just infiltrate into the ground—and another at the main drain. So what we saw was a balanced system all the way from the spring to the main drain.
