1. A fluid transport and distribution manifold comprising:
a support;
a first plurality of parallel fluid conduits passing through the support; and
a second plurality of parallel fluid conduits passing through the support perpendicular to, and interwoven with, the first plurality of parallel fluid conduits, at least some of the second plurality of parallel fluid conduits being selectably fluidly connected to one or more of the first plurality of fluid conduits,
wherein the support includes channels of differing depths for receiving the first and second pluralities of parallel fluid conduits and enforcing the perpendicular, interwoven configuration.
