Improved water source

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard the saying "water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink"? That's because not all water is safe for humans to drink. In fact, some water can make us very sick! That's why we need something called an "improved water source."

An improved water source is a special kind of system or method for getting clean water. This means that it's safe and healthy for us to drink, cook with, and use for other things like brushing our teeth or washing our hands.

There are many different kinds of improved water sources, but some common examples include things like a well, a tap, a water pump, or a protected spring. These systems help to protect the water from things like dirt, germs, and other harmful substances that could make us sick.

Having access to an improved water source is really important because it can help to prevent things like diarrhea, cholera, and other illnesses that are caused by dirty water. It also means that we can have better health and hygiene overall.

So, there you have it, kiddo! An improved water source is basically a special system or method for getting clean and safe water that we can use for lots of different things.
