The diagram illustrates the system of rainwater collection utilized for drinking water in an Australian town.
Overall, the procedure includes 5 stages in total, commencing with harvesting rainwater and culminating in the portable water which will be distributed to every household.
Initially, when the precipitation begins, water will pour into a gutter which is attached to the periphery of certain residential buildings. Then , the water is directed to a filtration system by a set of connected pipes in order to eliminate any impurities before travelling to a large storage tank. This system is responsible for ensuring enough water is provided to households.
In the subsequent phase, stored water is subjected to treatment with chemicals. Once the purification is completed , treated drinking water is distributed to every household from the faucets.
