Adelaide’s one million residents are supplied with water through an extensive reticulation system connected to six water filtration plants.

The filtration plants receive water from a number of reservoirs. The reservoirs rely heavily on water from the catchments in the Mt Lofty Ranges Watershed as well as water from the River Murray. Adelaide also obtains water from groundwater resources and from other water reuse activities.
