Springs: Springs are natural outlets where groundwater flows to the surface. They can be used to extract water by diverting the flow into a channel or pipeline.

Ponds and Lakes: Ponds and lakes can also be used to extract water by building a dam or pumping the water into a canal or pipeline.

Surface Water Collection: Surface water, such as that in rivers and streams, can be collected and used for various purposes. This can be done by diverting the water into a canal or pipeline and then treating it to make it safe for drinking or other uses.

Once the water has been extracted, it is typically treated to remove impurities and make it safe for drinking or other uses. The treatment process can vary depending on the source of the water and the intended use.

In summary, water can be extracted from the ground using wells, springs, ponds and lakes, or surface water collection methods. The specific method used will depend on the location, availability, and quality of the water, as well as the intended use.
