Abstract

In a region so reliant on the summer monsoon that there are few permanent supplies of water apart from the great rivers and their surrounding topography where the water tables are high, human civilization relies on artificial techniques of saving water from one rainy season to the next. As Rajasthan is located in an arid and desert region, water procurement and conservation were
