Some of the common sources of water are ponds, rivers, wells and hand pumps.

River - A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river.
Pond - A pond is a small area of still, fresh water. It is different from a river or a stream because it does not have moving water and it differs from a lake because it has a small area and is no more than around 1.8m deep.
Well - A water well is an excavation or structure created in the ground by digging, driving, boring or drilling to access groundwater in underground aquifers.
