The Reservoir

The reservoir consists of a deep pool, with high sides easily standing higher than a Gold, that is filled with water collected through storms. This water undergoes many different processes all depending on what the intended use will be. Pipes run from this bowl underground: one pipe taking water deep into the earth (where the same magma which keeps the hatching sands warm) boils the water and purifies it making it drinkable. Another series of pipes run to the bathing pools, which are drained and replaced daily, the water tepid or lukewarm. These are located a short distance from the Hatching Pool, and are kept slightly cooler by their distance from the main source of heat in the Weyr. Still, another set of pipes carries water to the agricultures fields, which are directly beside the reservoir, to keep the plants alive. The reservoir is a source of life for Atlanopolis Weyr and, without it, the Weyr would not survive.
