May one bless on water from a flowing aqueduct even though the specific water was not present at the time of the bracha?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that one standing by a flowing aqueduct may bless and drink even though the specific water consumed was not present at the time of the bracha, since one intended from the outset to drink from the flowing water. This case is distinguished from food not yet brought before the person.
