Solution

There are three sources of water:

  • Groundwater: It is underground water that exists between the pores and gaps of rocks and dirt. It's commonly found in aquifers. Seepage from surface water is a natural source of groundwater. It is the primary source of public water supply since it is less expensive and less polluting than surface water.
  • Surface Water: Surface water includes bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, ponds, and Stearns. Rainfall is the natural supply of surface water. It is the primary source of fresh water in the area.
  • Rainwater: Rainwater can be collected from rooftops and other surfaces and utilised. It can be used by reusing water that has been saved on roofs and surfaces. It is a very little water source.
