Answer 1

In city /town/ village the major source of fresh water is underground water.

We get the underground water with the help of hand pumps and tubewells.

Major part of the water is found in seas and oceans . Most of the water of a our utilisation on the earth comes from rivers lakes ,Ponds & even underground Wells.

Freshwater forms only about 2.5% of water & major part of the fresh water is frozen in glacial ice. So a very small amount about 0.5% remain there for the living beings to perform all living activities.
