With three major water systems (Croton, Catskill, and Delaware) stretching up to 125 miles (201 km) away from the city, its water supply system is one of the most extensive municipal water systems in the world. New York's water treatment process is simpler than most other American cities. This largely reflects how well protected its watersheds are.
NYCDEP manages three upstate supply systems to provide the city's drinking water: the Croton system, the Catskill system, and the Delaware system. The overall distribution system has a storage capacity of 550 billion US gallons (2.1 × 10 9 m 3) and provides over 1 billion US gallons (3,800,000 m 3) per day of water to more than eight million city residents and another one million users in ...

Rondout Reservoir. The Delaware Aqueduct is an aqueduct in the New York City water supply system.It takes water from the Rondout, Cannonsville, Neversink, and Pepacton reservoirs on the west bank of the Hudson River through the Chelsea Pump Station, then into the West Branch, Kensico, and Hillview reservoirs on the east bank, ending at Hillview in Yonkers, New York.
The aqueduct normally operates well below capacity with daily averages around 350–400 million US gallons (1,500,000 m 3) of water per day. About 40% of New York City's water supply flows through the Catskill Aqueduct.
The old aqueduct remained in service until 1955, when supply from the Delaware and Catskill Aqueducts was sufficient to allow taking it off line. [ 1 ] Waters of the New Croton Aqueduct flow to the Jerome Park Reservoir in the Bronx before entering Croton Water Filtration Plant in Van Cortlandt Park for treatment, then out to distribution.
