The water distribution system

From the water-gathering stations, water flows into pumping stations and distribution tanks. From pumping stations, water is pumped into fire hydrants and homes. From distribution tanks, water runs into fire hydrants and homes. If the height difference of the water tanks and a home is not enough, water goes from distribution tanks through a pumping station to the user.
