This illustration depicts the current water supply system in Australia and the plans made to change the system.
Overview, from the current system only a few changes such as the recycling of water has been changed for the future.
It is shown in the picture that in the present water supply, domestic water is stored in a dam, which is transferred to the city’s households, shops, and factories. Along with this process, storm water from the city is sent straight to the river. After that, waste water from a dam and city is passed to a plant for treatment.
Regarding the future planned system, it can be seen that the transferring of dam water to the city and collecting waste water from the city remain unchanged. The two changes are that instead of releasing storm water into the river, it goes directly to the water treatment plant; then, all the storm and uncleaned water are processed; Finally, they are pumped as clean water for the domestic use.
