A detailed, numbered flow diagram titled 'Water as a Resource: Storage and Use' showing ten labelled stages: catchment area, reservoir/dam, hydroelectric turbine, treatment plant (filtration and chlorination), distribution pipes to homes and farms, irrigation channels, wetland ecosystem, wastewater treatment (screening, primary treatment, secondary treatment, disinfection), water quality indicators (pH, turbidity, nitrates, temperature), and human impact (farming runoff, industrial discharge). Arrows show the pathway of water from collection through treatment, use, and return to the river, with a side panel on water quality monitoring and a bottom panel on human impacts.
