Apart from lakes and rivers, a large part of drinking water in the USA comes from groundwater sources. Groundwater is naturally filtered through soil and rocks. This groundwater then flows from intake points into treatment plants. From there, it moves to storage tanks and then to houses through various pipe systems.
