This site looks at the way we use water, where it comes from and where it goes.
Information is organised according to the Water Supply Cycle.
The water we use every day is part of a cycle. It starts in catchments and rivers where it collects from rain. Communities build dams to hold water so that their needs can be met even when it has not rained for some time. As water is needed it is taken through large pipes to a treatment plant and treated to make sure it is fit to drink. After treatment the water flows through pipes to reservoirs where it is held to supply the different areas of the city and may be treated further.
