Edmonston Pumping Plant is a pumping station near the south end of the California Aqueduct, which is the principal feature of the California State Water Project. It lifts water 1,926 feet (600 m) to cross the Tehachapi Mountains. The station power requirements are so great that several power lines from the Path 15 and Path 26 are needed to provide power to the facility. It is the most powerful water lifting system in the world, not considering pumped-storage hydroelectricity stations.^[1]
