Question

Explain the descu of tanks in line times​

Answer 1

Answer:

.The tanks were usually built by building a strong wall of stones and mud across a small stream in such a way that with a wall on just one side a large lake could be formed.  Look at the picture below:

               The tanks were sometimes built by a king, sometimes by a military leader or nayaka or often by the people of the village themselves.  Usually every village preserved the memory of those who were responsible for building the tank through stories or temples or festivals.  In building the tank, everyone in the village contributed for expenses and labour.  All people of the village together maintained the tank by repairing the tank bund (wall) or removing silt from the tank bed.  They also took care so that no one dirtied or stopped the water which flowed into the tank.  They also appointed a person to regulate the use of the water from the tank.
