In order to use Lefke water efficiently, there are many aqueducts, especially belonging to the Ottoman period. During the Ottoman period, both the existing arches were renewed and new ones were built to create a solution for the dry summer seasons.

Lefke, with its fertile fields extending to the sea, was one of the grain production centers. For this reason, many mills were built to grind the grain and water jets to run them. Apart from these, water from Troodos Mountain was distributed to the whole town with ditches for the purpose of irrigation of citrus orchards.

Today, the water channels along some of the roadsides of Lefke and the aqueducts reflecting the Ottoman stonework are a heritage worth seeing.

Lefke aqueducts, which are one of the most remarkable Ottoman heritages of our country with their 10 arched bridges, were built by El Haç Ali Efendi İbni Ebubekir Efendi and included in the Ebubekir Efendi Foundation established in 1102 H (1690).

Lefke aqueducts are still used today to irrigate orchards and fields.
