A town's water supply is typically stored in reservoirs or water tanks. These structures hold large amounts of water collected from sources such as rivers, lakes, or wells. The stored water is then treated and distributed to homes and businesses through a network of pipes.
There are a few terms. Water can be stored in a reservoir. Reservoirs can be natural lakes; they can also be made with dams and dikes, as is the case with the Quabbin Reservoir in western MA. The Quabbin floods a valley that once contained some towns; there was a 'taking' of the land for the public good when the reservoir was built in order to help supply Boston with water. There are people still living who were residents of those towns. Sometime water is stored in a cistern, which is a constructed and lined pit made for the storage of water and/or ice. Water is also 'stored' in what is called an aquifer. This is a geological formation of various kinds of rock that holds large amounts of water underground. Wells will sometimes tap this aquifer as their source of water.
They all need a water supply for their homes and business.

Kielder Water primarily supplies water to the towns of Hexham, Haltwhistle, and the surrounding areas in Northumberland, England. It is part of a larger water supply network managed by Northumbrian Water, which ensures that clean and treated water reaches these communities. Additionally, the reservoir plays a role in supporting ecological and recreational activities in the region.
No Sedona, Arizona does not put fluoride in it's water supply. In the US over 70 percent of cities and towns put fluoride in the drinking water.
so that they could get enough supply of fresh water.....
many desert plants like the barrel cactus , supply water with its leaves, specific "barrel" shape, etc which will let it thrive on its water that it stored
All medium sized towns have reticulated water supply, and otherwise, all New Zealanders have easy access to bodies of water.
Water stored underground is protected from contamination and evaporation, ensuring a more reliable and clean water supply. This also helps to prevent surface water pollution and promotes sustainable water management practices.
Less than 0.001% of Earth's total water supply is stored in the atmosphere at any one time. This includes water vapor, clouds, and precipitation. The vast majority of Earth's water is found in the oceans.
Because many years ago people needed to be near a water supply in order to sustain life and a lot of cities are built upon old towns and villages and such
