They captured India's long history of human interventions in the management of village water bodies for agriculture. Such interventions are irrigation tanks, wells, channels and dams. These were simple earthen banked rain water harvesting and storage structures, designed by the early settlers using their indigenous wisdom and constructed with the generous support of native rulers and chieftains over the past several centuries. Surprisingly these earthen structures have withstood the test of time and survived over many centuries. | | Keywords : | | |
