Form our body everyday a lot of water passes out as sweat, urine and also water vapors with the air we breathe out. Such water comes out of our body along with wastes and harmful things.
We know that main source of water is rain. The rain water collects in seas, lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. A large amount of rain water goes under the ground and is collected there. We get this water back through the wells and hand-pumps. Even now-a-days, the underground water is received through tube wells too.
