Question

discuss how rainwater harvesting is carried in semi arid regions of Rajasthan is carried out

Answer 1

1. Underground tanks are made to store water for drinking purposes.
2. Tanks are large and deep which were built inside the main house or the courtyard.
3. They are linked to the sloping roofs of the houses so that the rainwater falling on the rooftops would run down through a pipe and collect in the underground tanks.
4. The rain water collected is stored in tanks to provide water till the next rainy season.
5. When all the other sources have dried up, these tanks are beneficial to beat the summer heat as they keep the rooms cool. The rainwater or palar pani, as commonly known in these parts, is considered the purest form of natural water.
