OK, I don't know where this particular Noria Alta is either, but I was hoping someone could tell me.   There's no need to solve this, please post the next photo.

Here's a photo of the noria and acqueduct near the Noria Alta community just outside of Guanajuato City.  The structure is so large in diameter I wondered whether it had some kind of water lift inside rather than having a water wheel.  In the old photo below there is no water wheel.  The photographer would have been standing near the creek.

The link above shows a variety of water lift devices.
