Do you get water from a tap? If yes, ask the elders in your home from where the water comes into the tap. They may tell you about a tank high up on the terrace or some distance away.
Water in taps comes from overhead tanks or ground-level tanks.
These tanks are filled from larger sources like municipal water supply, borewells, or tankers.
The water reaches tanks through pipes connected to the main water supply system.
