Description
Photograph of the aerating table at the University Heights Reservoir, San Diego, ca.1904. Water cascades down four concrete terraces, each of which appears to be split in half by a divider of some sort. Some type of wooden construction is visible at the top of the waterfall, alongside a length of picket fence. The caption at the bottom of the image reads "S.G.M.W. Aerating table at University Heights Reservoir, Capacity over 5000 gallons per minute".
