Answer 1

With water crisis in the present times, the Kakatiya rulers and chiefs would opt for improved and modern irrigation techniques like Sprinkler System, Drip system or Pot system, to conserve water and use optimum facilities to get best yields. These techniques ensure water is utilised based on the availability of water in the area, needs and layout of the land, climatic conditions, soil texture and some technical knowledge available to people. . 

Answer 2

If the kings and chiefs in Kakatiya times will rule now, they will do the same thing as they had done before. They would come with methods to built irrigation tanks with less cost. They would implement new methods to make the irrigation more productive. They would look after the people greatly as they are known for their loyalty. The rule of kings would be some disadvantageous for us.
