Cartoon diagram of a water system with an aquifer, water infiltration pipe, pump station, and elevated lake.

1. **Ground Surface Layer:** - Draw a horizontal line to represent the ground surface. 2. **Water Infiltration Pipe:** - On the left side, depict a pipe. show water flowing through this pipe entering the soil/groundwater basin just below the surface. 3. **Groundwater Basin:** - Below the ground surface, illustrate an aquifer or groundwater basin (e.g., a shaded or blue area representing water-saturated soil). 4. **Extraction Well:** - On the right side, draw a vertical well penetrating the groundwater basin. - Show water being drawn up from the groundwater basin through this well. 5. **Pump Station (Above Ground):** - At ground surface next to the well, depict a pump station connected to the well’s extraction pipe. - You can show machinery or a building labeled “Pump Station.” 6. **Pipe to Elevated Lake:** - From the pump station, draw a pipe going uphill to an elevated lake (a body of water above ground level, shown on a higher plane or hill). 7. **Elevated Lake:** - Draw a lake or reservoir elevated above the pump station. - Label it “Elevated Lake.” 8. **Outflow Pipe Downhill:** - From the elevated lake, draw a pipe going downhill back towards the groundwater basin. - Represent water flowing through this pipe descending down. 9. **Return to Groundwater Basin:** - Indicate water re-entering the groundwater basin at a different location than the initial infiltration pipe through a different pipe 10. **Potable Water Well and Pipeline:** - Draw another well extracting water See more
