There were two aqueducts that supplied water to the fortress. A shorter north-west aqueduct brought water from a dam across Nahal Sekhakha, on the eastern hillside of Jabal Munttar. A longer channel diverted water from the Kidron stream, south-west of Horkonia. Both aqueducts joined together at a some point and delivered their waters through this final section.
The aqueduct reaches the hill on this north-west side. In the past, there were two channels that let the water flow around the hill in order to fill up more than a dozen of cisterns on the south and east sides of the fortress. http://www.biblewalks.com/Sites/Horkania.html#Aqueduct
