DSSSB JE - 2023,
Answer: B
Water drawn directly from natural lakes, along with rivers, streams, ponds and reservoirs, is a surface water source. Rainwater is collected from the roofs or the ground as precipitation, groundwater is taken from wells and tube wells below the ground, and desalinated water is produced by treating sea or brackish water. None of those is taken by a direct intake from a lake.
