The White Hat Guide to Water Issues in Melbourne

 

Domestic water supply

With European settlement the first drinking water was obtained from the Yarra River. As the setllement grew, so did the river pollution and the requirements of the citizenry for potable water. You can find a useful summary of the various developments that led to the creation of the major city water supply at The White Hat Guide to Yan Yean Reservoir.

Water as a source of power

In the later part of the 19th century, water became a major source of motive power in Melbourne and its inner suburbs. You can read about this at The White Hat Guide to Melbourne Hydraulic Service Power Company.
