Answer:
Enumeration of the medium and large reservoirs is relatively easy, as they are less in number and the details are readily available with the irrigation, power and public works authorities. However, compilation of data on small reservoirs is a tedious task as they are ubiquitous and too numberous to count. The problem is further confounded by ambiguities in the nomenclature adapted by some of the States. The word tank is often loosely defined and used in common parlance to describe some of the small irrigation reservoirs. Thus, a large number of small manmade lakes are designated as tanks, thereby precluding them from the estimates of reservoirs. There is no uniform definition for a tank. In the eastern States of Orissa and West Bengal, pond and tank are interchangable expressions, while in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, tanks refer to a section of irrigation reservoirs, including small and medium sized water bodies. In fact, some of the tanks in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are much bigger than Aliyar and Tirumoorthy reservoirs.
