David Zothansanga, Bobby Beingachhi and Lawmsangpuii

Abstract

Champhai District is dependent on agriculture since time immemorial apart from border trade. Being an agrarian society, lots of plantations, farming, and animal husbandry were practiced within the district in which water is a key role in this field. Water plays a very important role in everyday life, especially where the main occupation of people is agriculture. The infrastructure needed to collect, transmit, treat, store, and distribute water is known as the water supply system. This system may also include storage facilities. The following components are often included in a water supply system: a drainage basis, a point at which raw water is collected, water purification facilities, water storage facilities such as reservoirs, a pipe network for water distribution, connections to sewers, etc.
