In my upstairs house normally the water pressure is very low and due to that even a tank was connected,but yet the tank doesn't get filled in the day time and have to wait till mid night,the kitchen is connected to the normal water supply and the tank water is connected to the bathroom,but yet none of the ways provide enough water,and when it comes to dry season,very few water comes from the taps,even we tried using much larger underwater tubes,but yet it didn't work out,earlier there was the same issue with downstairs too,but now it has got recovered a little due to using larger pipes.Our house is located in the end of a slope of a housing scheme.Now we thought of shifting to use a motor to pump water,but i want to know if there is any other easy method rather than pumping which consumes electricity too.

You could try using a larger size tank or adding a second tank. The more capacity in tank size that you can house, the more water storage you can provide for the low times. Also, there should be a check valve located at the water service entrance to your house since you may be on an 'open' municipal/community system.
