Did you find out about any tanks where the water is stored? How did water reach those tanks? Are there some bigger pipes which bring the water to this tank? Where do these pipes come from?
Water is stored in overhead tanks or ground-level tanks.
Water reaches these tanks through bigger pipes connected to the main water supply from municipal sources, borewells, or water treatment plants.
The pipes come from underground water pipelines or from pumps connected to wells and borewells.
Explanation
The chapter encourages children to trace the water supply system. Bigger pipes bring water from main sources to storage tanks, from where smaller pipes distribute water to households.
