Tank management
The irrigation tanks (earthen
bounded reservoirs constructed across slopes by taking advantage of
local depressions and mounds) of South India are symbols of an ancient

agriculture. The advent of large-scale water storage and energised
systems may have left these exemplary examples of local efforts and
community management somewhere along the way. This section highlights
tank regeneration movement initiated by communities and non-governmental
organisations (NGO) |
