Sub-a′que-ous tube.

A pipe or tunnel (according to size) laid beneath the water as an aqueduct or viaduct. James Watt's submerged aqueduct across the bed of the Clyde is an example. It is a pipe with articulated sections, whose flexibility permitted it to be put together at the surface [2434] of the water, and then sunk into position.
