• In plains, the water harvesting structures are crescent-shaped earthen embankments.

• These are low, straight, and concrete.

• In hilly regions, the system of canal irrigation called Kulhs is used for water harvesting.

• This involves a collection of rain water in a stream, which is then diverted into man- made channels down the hill sides.

Answer 2

Answer:

In hilly/mountainous areas mostly in Himachal Pradesh, kulhs are used to take water to several villages down the hillside. In largely level terrain, water harvesting structures are mainly crescent shaped earthen embankments or low straight concrete and rubble check dams built across seasonally flooded gullies. They are different from pits and ponds as they store running water.
