What is a water supply system?

A water supply system refers to the infrastructure and arrangements put in place to provide a reliable and safe supply of water to individuals, communities, and industries. It includes all the components required for the collection, treatment, storage, and distribution of water from its source, such as a well or river, to its ultimate destination, which could be a home, a factory, or a farm. The key elements of a water supply system may include source water, treatment plants, storage tanks, pipelines, pumping stations, and distribution networks. The main objective of a water supply system is to ensure that the water supplied is safe for consumption and meets the required standards.
