Amsterdam Water Supply

Amsterdam's water supply primarily relies on treated surface water from the Amsterdam Water Supply Company (Waternet), which sources water from lakes like the IJ and Markermeer. The water undergoes rigorous purification processes, including filtration and disinfection, to meet health standards. The city also has infrastructure for distribution through a network of pipes, providing residents and businesses with safe, clean drinking water. Additionally, there are measures to ensure sustainability, such as water conservation initiatives and monitoring of water quality. This system ensures reliable access to high-quality water for Amsterdam's population while maintaining environmental standards.
