Solution Adopted here ( About Gravity Fed Water Supply System):
Gravity Fed Water Supply System is an
effective drinking water system where water from a source point at higher
elevation is tapped and allows to flow to the village at lower elevation by
means of pipelines connected to tanks at source and distribution points. This
phenomenon of water flows under gravity and which requires zero maintenance and
low operational spending; also it requires only a routine inspection of
pipelines, tanks and taps.
