Water is an essential form of life. It is a basic necessity for all terrestrial forms of life. Water is useful in agriculture, industries, cooking and various domestic activities. Most of us depend on rainfall for water.

The rainfall pattern in India differs in different geographical regions. Rains in India are largely due to the monsoons. Tropical regions receive more rainfall as compared to desert regions.

Despite nature’s monsoon bounty, failure to sustain water availability underground has resulted largely from the loss of vegetation cover, diversion for high water demanding crops, and pollution from industrial effluents and urban wastes. Irrigation methods like dams, tanks and canals have been used in various parts of India since ancient times. These were generally local interventions managed by local people and assured that the basic minimum requirements for both agriculture and daily needs were met throughout the year.
