The water supply is composed of three systems. Together, these systems provide water for 8 million residents in New York City, as well as 1 million residents north of the city. The watershed is divided into two reservoir systems: the Catskill/Delaware watershed west of the Hudson River and the Croton watershed east of the Hudson.
