eveloping and modernizing the Parisian hydraulic network also implies, appreciably in the 19th century, a storage prerogative. This drinking water or not, collected and conducted by aqueducts and canals from the various sources of the Paris basin (the Seine, the Marne, and the water tables) is therefore reserved before distribution in large-scale works carried out under the Haussmann era and Eugène Belgrand. There are thus five main reservoirs of drinking water located primarily on raised spaces located intra muros or on the periphery by virtue of the technical principle of "communicating vessels" which promotes the distribution of water.
