Where does SA's water come from?

Water delivered to Adelaide comes mainly from two sources - the Mt Lofty Ranges Watershed (Adelaide Hills) area and from the River Murray. Water from the River Murray is transported via large pipelines and then it then travels through the Mt Lofty Ranges Watershed to our reservoirs.

In regional areas of the state, rural and remote communities rely on a wide variety of water sources including groundwater, small local dams and water piped over many kilometres in regional pipeline systems.
