Question

A diagram of traditional water harvesting system is given below:

The statement, which defines the system and its parts is

पर्याय

• This is an ideal setting of the Khadin system and A = Catchment area; B = Saline area & C = Shallow dugwell

• This is an ideal setting of the Shallow dugwell system and A = Catchment area; B = Saline area and C = Khadin

• This is an ideal setting of Catchement area and A = Khadin, B = Saline area and C = Shallow dugwell

• This is showing Saline area and A = Cate ment area; B = Khadin and C = Shallow dugwell

Answer 1

This is an ideal setting of the Khadin system and A = Catchment area; B = Saline area & C = Shallow dugwell

Explanation: 

The Khadin system is a traditional rainwater harvesting structure used primarily in Rajasthan. Rainwater from a large Catchment area (A) flows down slopes and is collected in a reservoir by an earthen embankment (bund); water that seeps through or overflows may reach a Saline area (B) or recharge a Shallow dugwell (C) located nearby to provide water for drinking and irrigation during dry months.
