Dear Student

Water harvesting system in hilly and mountainous areas is different from plains and from plateau region.
For e.g., in hilly areas like Himachal Pradesh a local system of irriggtion was developed called kulhs. The water flowing in the streams was diverted in,manrjnaale channels which took this water to numerous villages down the hillside.
Whereas water in plains is collected in check dams or tanks, tals or bundhis.
