Conclusions: There are no water facilities near the Temple Mount which can supply water by means of gravity to the High Priest's ritual bath (Mikveh), according to all the known water systems except the Northern system - which would lower the level of the Temple Mount (See Table XIII).

*This level is mentioned in the survey of the water aqueduct, p. 187, but it is incorrect.
