From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Conduit
      a water-course or channel (Job 38:25). The "conduit of the upper
      pool" (Isa. 7:3) was formed by Hezekiah for the purpose of
      conveying the waters from the upper pool in the valley of Gihon
      to the west side of the city of David (2 Kings 18:17; 20:20; 2
      Chr. 32:30). In carrying out this work he stopped "the waters of
      the fountains which were without the city" i.e., "the upper
      water-course of Gihon", and conveyed it down from the west
      through a canal into the city, so that in case of a siege the
      inhabitants of the city might have a supply of water, which
      would thus be withdrawn from the enemy. (See {SILOAM}.)
     
         There are also the remains of a conduit which conducted water
      from the so-called "Pools of Solomon," beyond Bethlehem, into
      the city. Water is still conveyed into the city from the
      fountains which supplied these pools by a channel which crosses
      the valley of Hinnom.
