Compare the above system with the probable systems in hilly/mountainous areas or plains or plateau regions.
In the plain regions, the water harvesting systems possess crescent- shaped earthen embankments, low, straight or concrete. Monsoon rain filled behind the structures only the large structure will hold the water for the long- range; or in hilly or mountainous regions canal irrigation system also called Kuls (water channels filled during the rain and carries it to various locations, i.e diverted into the man- made channels down the hillsides cause in the hilly area only terrace farming occurs, so there is no plain area) and ponds are used for the water harvesting or management; or in the plateau regions Cheruvu is used to store the runoff water.
