Solution

The water used for household purposes such as drinking, cooking, washing clothes and watering plants is called domestic water. In cities, water is distributed to homes by the municipal water distribution system. The water treatment plants deliver treated water into the homes suitable for drinking. In rural areas, domestic water is obtained mostly from underground sources such as a motor driven tube well.
