Water Conservation- Traditional Methods
<p>If we look back through the ancient Indian History, there have been times when civilization was frequently affected by floods and drought. Perhaps this has been why every region has its own traditional water conservation techniques due to its unique topography and cultural factors. The fundamental idea was to do rainwater harvesting. Archaeological evidence reveals ancient India’s deep-rooted knowledge and excellent water engineering.</p>
<h2>Let’s have a look at some of the water conservation methods adopted across the country-</h2>

Water is transported from the glacier to the tank via a network of guiding channels. The glacier’s melting waters begin as a trickle in the morning and turn into a flowing stream by the afternoon. The water is collected in the evening and used in the fields the next day.</p>
