Solution-Our region’s water comes from a river that runs through the city and some tube wells dug in various locations. After the proper treatment, river water and tube-well water are delivered to dwellings via taps. Though these sources provide water to all residents in the area, it is not available in sufficient quantities everywhere. Water scarcity is common, and it becomes most acute during the hot summer months. Water is also obtained directly from wells in several settlements on the fringes of the city.
