One subject. Different systems.
An illustrative comparison of rainfall, drainage, treatment, stored water and a tap. The pictured systems are not physically connected.
A wetland, a drain and a tap belong to different reporting questions. This study uses juxtaposition to make those questions visible. The sequence is a comparison, never a diagram of a connected water system.
Sequence can suggest causation. State the missing connection before the edit implies one.
Read each frame as a proposal. Set 2–20 whole seconds per shot, then download the text plan. Timing is an allocation, not a narration estimate.
Start with weather and landscape. A wetland under clouds is not evidence of a current flood or an engineered stormwater basin.
The photographer describes a wetland. Do not call this a designed stormwater basin or evidence of a current flood.

Show a visible point of drainage. The photograph does not establish the water’s destination or whether the grate is blocked.
A grate alone does not show where the water goes, whether the drain is blocked or whether a flood is occurring.

Pause the flow of the story to name what is visible: treatment basins. Their exact process and facility remain unidentified.
Use generic treatment-basin wording. Do not name the facility, assert drinking-water quality or claim an exact treatment stage.

Introduce stored water as a separate subject. This Belgian reservoir is not linked to the preceding basins.
Not the same system as the treatment image. No water level, capacity, drought or power-generation claim is established by this photograph.

Finish with a familiar outlet. A running tap does not reveal its source, quality or household.
Does not establish drinking-water safety, household identity, a leak or the water source. Avoid waste or conservation claims about this specific tap.
