Detailed Solution

Overhead tanks are the main source of water in Urban areas. Water is the basic public necessity for good health and life. The allocation of public facilities between urban and rural areas is uneven in the rural area where people get access to water from tube wells, ponds, handpumps, etc. But in urban areas, water will go into every household through the supply of overhead tanks, which are owned by the municipal corporation. Water scarcity is an issue in the country. This issue is majorly impacted by Urban areas because, in urban places, there are not many options for water supply. Packaged water is another source of water supply, but this facility is limited to some income people only; poor people in cities are not able to afford this facility.
