Answer 1

Answer:

the source of water then was mostly well . that was not fit for drinking . and at present if we use these sources are not fit for us . the filtered or boiled water is most suitable to drink and does not cause any health problems.

Answer 2

The main sources of drinking water during childhood of my grandfather and grandmother were rainwater and groundwater.

• In early times, people had settled near lakes or rivers. But in regions where these were not present, people relied on groundwater extracted through wells.
• They also used to harvest rainwater for future use.

At present, it is not suitable to rely on groundwater because it is depleting at a fast rate. So, we should use it judiciously.
