The Amsterdam Water Supply
The drinking water supply and treatment system in Amsterdam, dating from the mid‐1850s, takes advantage of the new and the old. Supplies are drawn from natural catchment areas in sand dunes, from the Rhine River, and from surface lakes as well as from groundwater. The dune‐water source is recharged with pretreated surface water before it is treated to potable quality for distribution. Industrial water, which is not of drinking water quality, is delivered separately to steel mills, paper mills, and an oil refinery. The pollution of the Rhine River concerns water suppliers in cities, such as Amsterdam, that are located across international boundaries from the sources of pollution. The author gives an overview of the sources of water supply, the treatment processes, and the distribution system that serve the capital city of the Netherlands.
