We use v=IR and assuming the resistance doesn’t change we can also say that the voltage and current (I) are directly proportional which means the voltage also decreases by 1/2
You don't have water because of two possible reasons:
Because of the summer and the little rain, the underwater supply goes low.
The slope in the hill you live makes the underground water goes down by the effect of gravity. Imagine the underground water like a small tank, when the water is reduced for any reason the bottom of the tank will have the remaining water, while the top part will be "empty".
