(N/A) Traditional systems of water harvesting are ancient techniques used to collect and store rainwater for future use. In many regions, common traditional systems include:
$1$. $Tanks$ (or $Tankas$): Small, underground structures used to store rainwater.
$2$. $Khadins$ and $Johads$: Structures designed to capture runoff water in arid regions.
$3$. $Bawris$ (or $Stepwells$): Deep wells with steps leading down to the water level.
$4$. $Eris$ (or $Tanks$): Large man-made reservoirs used for irrigation.
These systems are sustainable and help in recharging groundwater levels.
