Amaphaneli asekelayo angangeni manzi angamabhodi asebenza ngezindlela eziningi anesakhiwo samaseli avaliwe-okuphezulu njengomongo wawo, ahlanganisa ukuvikela amanzi, ukumelana nomswakama, ukumelana nokucindezela, nokuhambisana nokuqeda okuhlukahlukene. Ngenxa yezakhiwo zabo ezizinzile kanye nokusebenza okubanzi, seziphenduke izinto ezibalulekile zokuvikela ekwakheni umhlobiso, amaphrojekthi wezohwebo, kanye nezindawo ezikhethekile. Izicelo zabo zihlanganisa izinkambu eziningi ezifana nezakhiwo zokuhlala, izakhiwo zomphakathi, izindawo zezimboni, namaphrojekthi angaphandle, ahlinzeka ngokuvikela{3}}kwesikhathi eside sezindawo ezihlukahlukene zokuswakama nokuvuza{4}}ezijwayele ukuvuza.
Ekulungiseni ikhaya, amaphaneli asekelayo angangeni manzi ayinto evamile ezindaweni ezimanzi njengamakhishi nezindlu zangasese, ezixazulula ngokuqondile izinkinga zamabhodi endabuko athambekele ekumunceni amanzi, isikhunta, kanye nokuguqulwa. Amakamelo okugeza, amagumbi okugeza, nezinye izindawo zihlala zichayeka emanzini kanye nomswakama ophezulu. Ngokumuncwa kwawo okuphansi kakhulu kwamanzi kanye nezinga lamaseli avaliwe{2}eliphezulu, amaphaneli asekela amanzi angavimba ukungena komswakamo emthonjeni. Uma isetshenziswe ngokuhambisana namathayili noma ama-slabs, awagcini nje ukuzinzisa isendlalelo sesisekelo, ukuvimbela amathayili ukuba angabi yigodi futhi awele, kodwa futhi avimbele ukukhula kwesikhunta kanye nephunga, ukuvikela impilo yabahlali. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ezindaweni ezivame ukuchayeka emanzini, njengasemakhishini, amagumbi okuwasha izingubo, namavulandi, amaphaneli angangeni manzi amelana ngokuphumelelayo nokuchaphazeka nokujiya, avikela udonga ekonakalisweni. Ezindaweni eziswakeme njengezindlu zangaphansi kanye ne-attics, amaphaneli asekela amanzi angangeni amanzi futhi ahlinzeka ngokuvikeleka komswakama, ukuvala umsindo, kanye nemisebenzi yokulinganisa, ukuthuthukisa ngokuphawulekayo ukunethezeka kokuphila nokuxazulula izinkinga ezibangelwa ukumanzi.
Izakhiwo zomphakathi nezohwebo zinezidingo eziphakeme zokungangeni kwamanzi, ukuqina, kanye nokuhlanzwa kalula kwezinto. Amaphaneli asekelayo angangeni manzi, anezinzuzo zawo zezakhiwo ezilwa namagciwane, ukunakekelwa kalula, nempilo ende yesevisi, asetshenziswa kabanzi{1}}ezindaweni zethrafikhi,{2}}eziphezulu{2}}ezinomswakama. Izindlu zangasese zomphakathi, amagumbi okushintshela, izindawo ze-spa, izindonga zamachibi, kanye nephansi elizungezile emahhotela, ezinxanxatheleni zezitolo, nezakhiwo zamahhovisi zihlala zichayeka endaweni enomswakama nokuhlanza njalo. Amaphaneli asekela amanzi angamelana nokusula ngokuphindaphindiwe, awakhubazeki kalula, futhi awazaleli amagciwane, agcina indawo ehlanzekile. Ezindaweni ezihlanzekile ezifana nezibhedlela, izindawo zokungcebeleka, nezindawo zokucubungula ukudla, amaphaneli angangeni amanzi ahlangabezana nezindinganiso zomkhakha zokuvikela umswakama{{6}, ukuvikela isikhutha{{7}, nokubulala amagciwane kalula, ukugwema izingozi zenhlanzeko ezibangelwa indawo eswakeme. Emaphrojekthini angaphansi komhlaba njengamagaraji okupaka angaphansi komhlaba, iziteshi zesitimela esihamba ngaphansi komhlaba, namahubhu, amaphaneli asekela amanzi angangeni manzi amelana ngokuphumelelayo nokugeleza kwamanzi angaphansi komhlaba, avikela ukuphepha kwesakhiwo sezakhiwo, andise impilo yesevisi yamaphrojekthi, futhi anciphise izindleko zokulungisa kamuva.
Ezimweni zobunjiniyela zangaphandle nezikhethekile, ukumelana nesimo sezulu kanye nezakhiwo zokuvikela zamaphaneli asekela amanzi asetshenziswa ngokugcwele. Ezindaweni ezisogwini nezinemvula, amaphaneli asekela amanzi asebenza njengesithiyo esiyinhloko sokuvimbela amanzi ekwakheni ingaphandle nophahla. Zisetshenziswa ngokuhambisana nezingqimba zokufakelwa, azivimbeli kuphela ukuguguleka komoya nemvula kodwa futhi zinciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla, zithole ukulingana phakathi kokuvikela amanzi nokonga amandla. Amaphaneli asekela amanzi asetshenziswa njengolwelwesi kumaphrojekthi wesici samanzi (amachibi okwenziwa, imithombo, namachibi) ukuze kuvinjwe ngempumelelo ukuvuza kwamanzi, ukuthuthukisa ukuvaleka kwephrojekthi, nokugwema ukumosheka kwamanzi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ezindaweni ezinezinga lokushisa eliqinile nokulawula umswakama, njengendawo yokugcina amakhaza, izindlu ezibamba ukushisa, kanye nezindawo zokusebenzela ezilawulwayo-ezilawulwayo, amaphaneli angangeni amanzi angavimba ukungena komhwamuko, azinzise amazinga okushisa asendlini, futhi anciphise isimo somoya noma ukushisisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla. Amaphaneli asekelayo angangeni manzi asetshenziswa kakhulu ekuvimbeleni amanzi ovulandi bangaphandle, imibhede yezimbali, nezici zezwe, ukuthuthukisa ukuqina kwezindawo zangaphandle kanye nokumelana nokulimala kwelanga nemvula.
Njengoba imboni idinga ukuthuthukiswa, ukusetshenziswa kwamaphaneli angemuva angangeni manzi kuyaqhubeka nokwanda emikhakheni yezimboni nezokuthutha. Ezitshalweni zezimboni nasezindaweni zokugcina impahla, amaphaneli angemuva angangeni amanzi athuthukisa amandla esakhiwo kuyilapho ehlinzeka ngokuvikelwa komswakama nokugqwala, evikela okokusebenza kokukhiqiza kanye nezimpahla ezigciniwe ekumswakama. Ngaphakathi kwezindawo zokuthutha ezifana nezinqola zezitimela nezitezi zemikhumbi, amaphaneli angemuva angangeni manzi anikeza imisebenzi eminingi ehlanganisa ukuvimbela amanzi, ukuvala umsindo, nokuqinisa, ukuthuthukisa ukuphepha nokunethezeka kohambo. Ezimbonini zefenisha neze-elekthronikhi, amaphaneli angemuva angangeni amanzi asetshenziselwa amaphaneli angemuva kwekhabhinethi nezakhiwo zokusekela imishini, ukuvimbela ukuguquguquka komkhiqizo kanye nokulimala ezindaweni ezinomswakama nokwelula impilo yabo yesevisi. Ngokuzayo, ngokuphindwaphindwa kobuchwepheshe obusha bezinto ezibonakalayo, amaphaneli angemuva angangeni amanzi azoguqukela ekuhlanganiseni-okuningi kokusebenza, okuhlanganisa izimo ze-niche kanye nokuhlinzeka ngokuvikeleka okubanzi nokude{5}}okuhlala njalo kwezakhiwo nezinsiza ezahlukahlukene.
