The major source of fresh water in a city, town, or village depends on the geographical location and available water resources. Common sources include:
- Rivers and Lakes – Many cities depend on nearby rivers, lakes, or reservoirs as their primary fresh water source. Water is collected, treated, and supplied for drinking and domestic use.
- Groundwater (Wells and Borewells) – In villages and towns, wells, borewells, and tube wells serve as the main fresh water sources, drawing water from underground aquifers.
