On the sign:
מאגר מים תת-קרקעי
(סיסטרנה)

מאגר מים תת-קרקעי זה תוכנן ונבנה כחלק מהתוכנית הכוללת של מבנה הטכניון (1910). המאגר נועד לשמש מענה לבעיה חמורה של אספקת מים לאזור.
מאחר שמשאבות מים עדיין לא היו בשימוש נרחב בתחילת המאה ה-20, בזמן השלטון העות’מאני, אספקת המים נסמכה בעיקר על אגירת מי הנגר ומי הגשמים המצטברים על הגגות במאגרים תת-קרקעיים.

שטח רצפת הסיסטרנה: 140 מ"ר
עומק הסיסטרנה: 5 מטר

Underground Cistern

This underground water reservoir (cistern) was designed and built as part of the Technion building plan (1910). The reason for digging the reservoir was a severe water supply problem. Since water pumps were not widely used at the beginning of the 20th century, during Ottoman rule, water supply relied mostly on rain water collected off rooftops and on overland flow collected in underground reservoirs.

Area of the cistern’s floor: 140 meters
Depth: 5 meters
