Answer:
Tanks are most widely used in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh followed by Tamil Nadu.
Explanation:
Tanks are constructed to be developing small bund of stones or earth for the purpose of water storage. The lakes, streams, and rivers in this area dry up during summer, becoming insufficient to supply an adequate amount of water to the canals.
Canals and well construction in these areas are difficult because of the presence of hard rocks and the undulating surface. Because of the presence of hard rocks, groundwater is not available in a large amount.
Tanks construction is cheap and is mostly natural which every household can afford, hence population out there also supports this type of water storage.
