JAPANESE water workers were swimming in information during the 14th annual tour of Southern Water's Otterbourne site, near Winchester.
Members of the Japan Water Works Association made the trip as part of a week-long tour of water supply operations across the UK.
Representatives from water companies across Japan met staff from Southern Water, who gave them an insight into the work involved in supplying up to 650,000 people in Hampshire each with about 170 litres of water every day.
The Southern Water team, led by Hampshire water supply manager Meryick Gough, were on hand to pass on tips, which the delegates could put into practice back home.
