A propos de cet article

Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Water harvesting and irrigation techniques in Phalodi. 3. Technique of irrigation and agricultural production in Nagaur. 4.

Glossary. Bibliography and index.

This passed through the wells raising water tables. It was an exceptional technique of storing rain water through percolation process. This availability of water also promoted tourism and the traders frequently visited such qasbas where water could be had. The book also attempts to interpret the available data regarding the efforts of peasants to evolve an indigenous dam technology in the pre-modern era. This enabled the farmers to grow maximum number of crops, including sugarcane, rice and wheat which needed extra water. Besides, many water bodies were constructed to procure drinking water in towns and villages. A technique called Khadeen for irrigation purposes was evolved in rural areas. It can be safely argued that the inhabitants of Rajasthan indigenously and successfully collected, managed and utilized each drop of water for both drinking and irrigation in several pockets of the Thar region.…
