Comments:
Water Districts helps the people in providing water. Water is very important to the
people. Water should remain available during breakdown periods of pipeline. System
of distribution should not such that if one pipe bursts, it puts a large area without
water. Polomolok Water District have achieved its goal by providing their district a
tons of water. Also not only water they provide but also they have many activities
that would also help the people and the environment.
