Following are the sources of water:

Surface water: Water which falls on the ground as rain or hail.

Underground water: Water that is stored beneath the Earth and is pumped out using machines.

River, lakes or springs: These are the natural water storages.

Rock holes: Sometimes large rocky outcrops contain low areas in which water is trapped. These low areas make good water stores.

Excavated dams: Excavated dams are made by scooping out soil to make a large shallow hole.
