In the arid and semi-arid regions of
Rajasthan, tankas are underground
tanks that are used to store water. It is a
form of rainwater harvesting. The
rainwater is collected on rooftops and,
with the help of pipes, it is allowed to
flow into the underground tanks. Each
tanka could be as big as the size of a
room. The water is stored for long
periods and mainly used as drinking
water.

The tankas were part of the well developed rooftop rainwater harvesting system and were built inside the main house or the courtyard. They are built for storing drinking water. A tank should be 6.1 m deep, 4.27 m long and 2.44 m wide. The tankas were built in the semi-arid and arid regions of Rajasthan, particularly in Bikaner, Phalodi and Barmer.
