The diagram illustrates the process of collecting and treating rainwater for drinking purposes in an Australian town.
The process begins with rainwater falling on the rooftops of houses. The water then flows through drains attached to the roofs and is directed into underground pipes. From these pipes, the collected rainwater is transferred to a water filter, where impurities are removed.
After filtration, the clean water is stored in a large storage tank. From the storage, the water moves to the water treatment section. In this step, chemicals are added to purify the water further and make it suitable for drinking. Finally, the treated water is distributed for domestic use as drinking water.
Overall, the system effectively captures, cleans, and treats rainwater, ensuring it is safe for human consumption.
