Solution

Dear Student

Palar Pani is the common name for rainfall in Rajasthan. It is considered the purest form of natural water. In these regions, this form of water is considered precious and is stored in underground tanks or tankas. This is conserved to be used for drinking when all other water sources have dried up especially in summer.
