Solution
Five man-made sources of water are:
• Water well – This is a structure that is created by drilling, driving, or boring. The water from the well is pumped out using a pump.
• Dam – A dam is a structure that obstructs the flow of water. It ensures that the water is used when there is scarcity of water.
• Underground tanks – This is another source that is used to store water. They are built below the surface.
• Canals – These are man-made channels that are primarily used for transportation.
• Tube well – This is a long well that is connected to an underground aquifer.
