The diagram explains the process of collecting and converting rain water into drinking water in an Australian town.
Overall, the there are four distinctive steps involved in the conversion procedure: collection, filtering, storage and treatment. It is a simple and effective method for rainwater exploitation.
Primarily, rainwater is collected from the surface of homes through a net of connected water pipes, which is spread throughout the town homes, then the water is drained into a main large pipe underground. Subsequently, water is filtered by a filter, after that filtered water is stored in a large tank.
Second, the stored water is transferred to another tank with special equipment, which contain chemical materials, where it is treated by different types of chemicals to be suitable for human consumption. Following, the water is drained by another separate net of water pipes to the houses to be used by people as drinking water.
