In the 1930s the Tábor
authorities addressed the problem of the town’s scarcity of
drinking water by building the Knight Waterworks to treat water
from the Jordán. Construction of the waterworks and the baffle
curtain reservoir was completed on February 15, 1936. The designer
and builder of the waterworks was the Prague engineer Čeněk
Pštross.
