Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Public facilities refer to essential facilities that are equally required and distributed to everyone. Water is one of the many amenities included in public facilities. Since universal access to water is included in the fundamental rights, public water supply is the responsibility of the government. However, the public water supply system in the country fails to cater to everyone equally. Water supply in public taps is irregular and limited. Water is easier received in the urban centers closer to water storage units than to the colonies farther away. In rural areas, private water sources like wells, tanks, and hand pumps are available more than public water.
The correct statement should be, in comparison to the urban areas there is an even greater shortage of public water supply in rural areas.
