Figure 1.2 The three waters

Textual description

This figures describes the three waters. Water as rain hits built and paved surfaces, becoming human-created stormwater, and is reinserted into the natural cycle. Rain is also collected for human via dams and roof tanks. Human-created wastewater from this is also reinserted into the natural cycle, along with water as natural run-off or groundwater. All three waters then join with lakes and oceans.
