The provided illustration presents the Australian’s water supply system, showcasing its layout from two different points in time: the present and future configuration.
Taking an holistic view, significant modifications will be made to the directions of flows in following days, with an extra resource for pure water added and the downstream of storm water transferring from the river to the region of water treatment plant.
Presently, the water storage acts as the predominant source solely for water supplies, while emitting its polluted water directly into the water treatment plant. Waste water and storm water proceeded by human activities from households, factories, shops and city are been tunneled to water treatment plant and the river respectively in the end, which exacerbates the hydrosphere considerably.
Thus, in the future, a more reasonable water supply system will be established to accelerate a organic and renewable cycle of the hydrosphere. Notably, water treatment plant will play an implacable role in the recycle with providing extra pure water for human activities and resorting the storm water and waste water return. Meanwhile, the dam will remove its emission of waste water into the plant area straightforwardly, remaining the provision of our water for the public merely. And the storm water stemming from the living area will shift its way into the water treatment plant instead.
