Where New Hampshire’s Water Comes From and How We Get It

The journey is long, starting with raindrops or snowfall, leading to the ground and to rivers and streams. Some soaks into the ground and into aquifers, up long pipes and into the house; other water heads to reservoirs, lakes or public water systems, then through a series of pipes, plants and tanks before it's sent to you. Today we kick off our series exploring New Hampshire’s drinking water with a look at the process of getting water from the sky to the tap.
