Water Source Types

Introduction

There are two reasons for recording the water source. One is to measure availability vs consumption. And, the other is to monitor the water quality. Each ULB captures this information. Hence, the water source details are configurable at the ULB level. ULBs can configure water source data at two levels - water source and water sub source.
