Where Does your tap water comes from ?

We break into the water cycle to obtain our water . Then we purify it and pipe it to our homes.

Rain water can be collected from the roof and stored in tanks. In some places water is pumped out of rivers or lakes and piped to homes. Elsewhere, the water we use comes from underground springs or boreholes .It is pumped up from permeable rocks such as chalk. But in most large cities, there is not enough surface water for everyone, and water may be stored nearby, in huge reservoirs.
