Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Water harvesting and irrigation techniques in Phalodi. 3. Technique of irrigation and agricultural production in Nagaur. 4. Water bodies and harvesting techniques in Bikaner. 5. Water harvesting techniques in Churu, Chhapar and Bidasar. 6. Water harvesting and irrigation techniques in Jaisalmer. Conclusion. Appendices.

This passed through the wells raising water tables. It was an exceptional technique of storing rain water through percolation process. This availability of water also promoted tourism and the traders frequently visited such qasbas where water could be had. The book also attempts to interpret the available data regarding the efforts of peasants to evolve an indigenous dam technology in the pre-modern era.
