Solution

Answer:

  • One of the old rain water management approaches is Bawris.
  • There have been deep wells dug in the soil that have steps to access the accumulated water.
  • These bawris allow storing water for prolonged times as the amount of water evaporation from the deep well is very limited.
  • In Rajasthan, bawris are very common.
