Explanation:

• Narmada Bachao Andolan is related to the construction of the Sardar Sarovar Dam that was led by Medha Patkar in 1985.

• Tamil Nadu is the first and only state in India that made rooftop rainwater harvesting compulsory for all the houses.

• "Guls or Kuls" is the name given to the diversion channels of the western Himalayas. Kuls or the diversion channels take water from the glaciers to the circular tanks. These tanks keep a check on the water flow and the amount of water received. Guls are used for the purpose of irrigation, during the shortage of water in irrigational usage, the water is poured out from the tank and is used.

• In the desert regions of Rajasthan, rainwater is referred to as Palar Pani, which is also considered the purest form of natural water.

• Groundwater is the major source of fresh water in India. The country uses around 230 cubic kiloliters of groundwater per year. Groundwater contributes 60% of water in irrigational activities and 85% as drinking water.
