Create a simple neighborhood map showing water sources, like wells, tanks, or water delivery points. Ask the official for help if needed.
A neighborhood water source map should include:
- location of wells and borewells with their depths
- overhead water tanks with their capacities
- water delivery points and distribution pipelines
- rainwater harvesting structures
- hand pumps
- natural water bodies like ponds or streams
The map should use symbols and a legend for easy identification of different water sources.
