Detailed Solution

The sources of water in rural areas are wells, hand pumps and ponds.
The rural areas also lack proper water supplies. They mainly rely on wells, handpumps, and ponds for their water requirements. Most of these sources are privately owned or shared by the community living around the source. In rural areas, water is not just required for human consumption but also for cattle and irrigation purposes. Without water, their lives come to a standstill. Public facilities are unevenly distributed between the rural and urban areas. Most rural areas are still underdeveloped and lack basic necessities such as water supply, electricity, proper roads and transportation, health care, and educational institutions. The government needs to work for the development of the villages and should ensure equal distribution.
