Inhabitants of Amotlah and Riasikah had access to sufficient supply of water after the
implementation of the water pumping system. More than 2000 people belonging to both villages
have been the beneficiary of the system. In the past several years, the problem of water supply was
rampant and people had no option other than to suffer the thirst for various purposes. Meanwhile, the
