Water from Source to Storage

Also called

water supply · water route · source to tap · overhead tank · water pump · storing water · covered water tank · where does tap water come from · water storage · pumping water uphill

Topics

• One water route in order: source, transfer (pump and pipe), storage (tank), tap
• A pump is needed to lift water uphill; water flows down from a higher tank by itself
• Pump off means no water comes in; tap closed means no water comes out
• Tank water changes only by what flows in minus what flows out
• Stop filling before the tank overflows
• A covered tank keeps dirt out but does not clean water
• Treatment is a separate step; stored or clear water is not automatically safe to drink
• This is one illustrative route; other places get water in other ways
