Answer 1

in the semi arid and arid regions of Rajasthan particularly in Bikaner phalodi and Baner almost all the houses had underground tanks for storing drinking water. The tanks could be as large as a big room; one household in phalodi had a tank that was 6.1 M Deep 4.27 M long and 2.44 M wide. the tank were part of the well developed rooftop rainwater harvesting system and were built inside the main house or the courtyard .they were connected to sloping roof of the houses through a pipe .rain falling on the rooftop would travel down the pipe and was stored in these underground tanks. the first spell of rain was usually not collected as this would clean the roof and the pipe. the rain water from the subsequent shower was then collected.
