The provided diagram depicts meticulously the structure and the operation of a water filtration system to generate potable water.
Overall, the system consists of key components, including two tanks, distinct layers of three materials and a pipe, which all work together to serve for water purification and storing.
Initially, the impure water is deposited into the cylindrical container on the left to be filtered. This process is essential as it facilitates the removal of contaminants in the water, which pass through the stacked layers of sand, charcoal and gravel. The treated water is subsequently channeled into the second drum on the right through a hose.
In contrast to the former tank, which is dedicated to water purification, the latter reservoir primarily remains empty and functions solely as a storage unit for cleaned water. Another notable feature is a tap attached to this tank allows for convenient dispensing of purified water from it.
