Flume facts
- Flumes lead water from a diversion dam or weir to a desired location
- Many flumes took the form of wooden troughs elevated on trestles, often following the natural contours of the land
- Originating as a part of a mill race, they were later used in the transportation of logs in the logging industry
- They were also extensively used in hydraulic mining and working placer deposits for gold, tin and other heavy minerals
- Flumes are not to be confused with aqueducts, which are built to transport water, rather than transporting materials using flowing water as a flume does
