Question

Compare the traditional water harvesting system with portable system in hilly/mountains areas or plains or plateau regions.

Answer 1

In plains, the water harvesting structures are crescent-shaped earthen embankments. These are low straight, and concrete. In hilly regions, the system of canal irrigation called Kuhl is used for water harvesting. This involves a collection of rainwater in a stream, which is then diverted into man-made channels down the hillsides.
