    This document summarizes the main sources of water. It discusses that water is vital for life and makes up 70% of the human body. It then outlines that 97% of water on Earth is salt water, with only 3% being freshwater, most of which is frozen. The document categorizes sources of water into surface water and sub-surface water. Surface water includes streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. Sub-surface water involves springs, infiltration galleries, open wells, infiltration wells, tube wells, which access underground sources. The different types of springs like gravity and artesian are also defined.

    Sources of Water

    Introduction
    Water is a vital natural resource which forms the basis of all
    life.
    It is one of the marvelous gift to us.
    About 70% of the human body is water.
    The bodies of all plants and animals contain water.
    It has be estimated that the total water contained on earth is
    about 1385.5×10^6.
    About water
     97% of the water on the Earth is salt water. However, only 3%
    percent is fresh water; slightly over 2/3 of this is frozen in
    glaciers and polar ice caps.
     The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as
    groundwater, with only a small fraction present above ground
    or in the air.
     On the surface of earth 71% is covered by seas and oceans and
    remaining 29% is occupied by land.
     Fresh water is a renewable resource.

    A. Streams A. Springs
    B. Rivers i)Gravity Spring
    C. Lakes ii) Artesian Spring

    E. Natural and artificial C. Open wells

    F. Artesian wells
    E. Tube wells
    1. Surface water
    - Surface sources are also known as Ground sources.
    - Water can be easily stored naturally or artificially on the earth surface.
    - Surface sources include Streams, rivers, lake, pounds, Artificial Reservoir
    etc.
    A.Streams
    - In mountainous region, during rainy season water from to mountain
    gets collected and flow in the form of steam.
    B. Rivers
    -Number of small stream flowing over from the mountainous combine together
    to from a river.
    - River is the only surface source of water which can be easily available in
    abundance and can be easily used.
    C. Lakes
    - In mountains at some place, natural basin are formed with impervious bed of water
    from stream generally moves to word these reasons to form a lake .
    - it is suitable for industrial use
    D. Ponds
    - Pondsare depression in plains in which water is collected during rainy seoson
    - Pounds are mostly formed in small village.
    E. Natural and artificial reservoir
    - Reservoir has large capacity to store water which is utilized by the
    people in deficient period.
    2) Sub- surface sources ( Under Ground water
    sources )
    - A portion of rainfall in filtrate the ground and get stored as sub sub surface
    water at hard stratum.
    A. Springs
    - Some times When the ground water is very high the water comes out on the
    surface in the form of springs.
    - There are two type of spring
    1) Gravity Springs
    2) Artesian Springs
    1) Gravity Springs
    - In this case the under water level rises and water out flows through the sides of
    natural Valley or a Depression.
    2) Artesian Springs
    - These are spring which water flow automatically under pressure this water can
    be stored in water tank.
    B. Infiltration Gallery's
    - Generally ground water flows to word pound or lakes
    - In this water can be intercepted by digging cannel or tunnel with hales at right
    angle this underground tunnel are colled as infiltration galleries.
    C. Open wells
    - Vertical hole dug or drilled under ground to triap the sub soil water is
    called as well.
    D. Infiltration Well
    - The shallow wells constructed under bed of river are called as Infiltration
    wells
    E. Tube wells
    A tube well is a type of water well in which a long, 100–200 millimetres (3.9–7.9 in)-
    wide, stainless steel tube or pipe is bored into an underground aquifer. The lower end
    is fitted with a strainer, and a pump lifts water for irrigation.
