Water supply is the provision of water by public utilities, commercial organisations, community endeavors or by individuals, usually via a system of pumps and pipes. Public water supply systems are crucial to properly functioning societies. These systems are what supply drinking water to populations around the globe. [1]

Aspects of service quality include continuity of supply, water quality and water pressure. As humans, we are dependent on water. It has a wide array of uses, such as crop irrigation, washing, drinking, and electricity generation. [2]
