Most Americans depend on their municipalities to deliver clean water. The municipal water cycle is something that has been reinvented countless times over the course of history. Every civilization has tried to reinvent the way they get their water.

As you can imagine, a lot of resources go into making consumable water so attainable.

Here’s how.
