A Khadin, also known as a Dhora, is a clever structure that collects surface runoff water for agricultural use. Its most distinguishing feature is a long (100-300 m) earthen embankment erected across the lower hill slopes beneath gravelly uplands. Excess water can be drained by sluices and spillways.

A johad is a rainwater storage tank that gathers and keeps water throughout the year, mostly in the Indian states of Haryana and Rajasthan. It is utilised for drinking by humans and livestock.
