Vodovodních is a Czech adjective related to the water supply system, derived from the noun vodovod meaning a water conduit or water supply network. The term denotes anything pertaining to the distribution of potable water in built environments and is commonly used to form compound nouns and phrases in technical, civil engineering, and municipal planning contexts.

Common usages include vodovodní síť (water distribution network), vodovodní řád (water-supply code or regulations for the water system), vodovodní přípojka (water service connection), and vodovodní armatury (plumbing fittings and fixtures).

Etymologically, vodovodní is built from vodovod and the suffix -ní, turning the noun into an attributive adjective. The concept encompasses infrastructure for capturing, treating, distributing, and delivering drinking water, as well as related equipment, regulation, and maintenance practices. In modern usage, vodovodní is prevalent in official documents, engineering specifications, and urban planning discussions, reflecting the importance of reliable water supply for households, industry, and public services.

Historically, urban water-supply networks were developed progressively in European cities, including Czechia, with improvements in pumping, treatment, and distribution through the 19th and 20th centuries. Today the term remains a standard descriptor in discussions of potable water infrastructure and associated regulatory frameworks.
