Question

India is chiefly an agricultural land. The cultivation of crops depends on a proper

supply of water throughout the year. From olden times large parts of our country

have suffered from periods of too much rain alternating with periods of drought.

People have known that if the excess waters of the flood seasons can be stored away

for use in the fields during the dry seasons, the problem would be solved.

Unfortunately, they have had neither the knowledge nor the means to do much in

this matter. What little they knew they have tried to put into practice. They have

dug canals to carry away water from the great perennial rivers. This was heavy and

expensive work and practicable over only a small area. Large tanks were excavated,

small bundhs or dams built to hold water or hold back floods. But it has not been

possible to do anything on a country-wide scale.
