Slide 4/27 What happens when a pipe is
partially blocked?
During a hot summer season, one of the pipes
(which is partially blocked by rust) is unable to keep up with the
water needs of of the area that it supplies.
The area supplied by the partially blocked
pipe turns brown, but is still alive. Restoration of full water supply
or a decrease in water need (less scorching weather) will make the
grass turn green again.
