A RESERVOIR BETWEEN THE PONTIUS PILATE TANK AND JERUSALEM 



The capacity of this basin is 350,000 gallons. The tank begun by Pontius Pilate was not 

 completed in ancient times because the Roman Government frowned upon the heavy cost of 

 the proposed water system. The British, however, immediately following their occupation 

 of the Holy City, began the restoration and completion of the tank, which has a capacity of 

 5.000,000 gallons and is fed by a perennial spring.
