About water distribution (on own account)

cpc code 692, 'Water distribution (on own account)', represents a critical industry within the broader economy. This industry is responsible for the distribution and supply of water to various sectors, including residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. It plays a vital role in ensuring access to clean and reliable water resources, which are essential for sustaining human life, supporting economic activities, and maintaining public health and sanitation.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the water distribution industry involve the extraction, treatment, and transportation of water. This process typically starts with the collection of water from surface sources, such as rivers, lakes, or reservoirs, or from groundwater sources. The water is then treated to remove impurities and ensure it meets the required quality standards. Finally, the treated water is distributed through a network of pipes, pumps, and storage facilities to reach the end-users.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the water distribution industry include water sources, treatment facilities, distribution infrastructure (pipes, pumps, and storage tanks), and energy sources to power the system. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled personnel, such as water treatment operators, engineers, and maintenance technicians, to ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the water distribution network.

Production outputs

The primary output of the water distribution industry is the supply of clean and safe drinking water to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. The water distributed through this industry can be used for a variety of purposes, including 681 Domestic use, 682 Commercial use, and 683 Industrial use. The water distribution industry also supports other related industries, such as 691 Water collection, treatment and supply, which focuses on the upstream activities of water collection and treatment.
