Groundwater dams are structures that intercept or obstruct the natural flow of groundwater and provide storage for water underground. They have been used in several parts of the world‚ notably India‚ Africa and Brazil. Their use is in areas where flows of groundwater vary considerably during the course of the year‚ from very high flows following rain to negligible flows during the dry season. The basic principle of the groundwater dam is that instead of storing the water in surface reservoirs‚ water

built and promoted in villages. For every RS 100 invested in small earthen check-dams known as Johads‚ the economic production in villages has risen by RS 400. And all this prosperity has come through the use of only three per cent of the total rainwater. The dense forests disappeared under the railway tracks‚ in the form of sleepers. The then Maharaj of Alwar‚ in 1930‚ under the influence of British‚ sold them out to contractors to obtain timber for the railroad. Railways did not improve the living

I. Give geographical reasons. 1. Rainwater harvesting is very important in Rajasthan. Rainwater harvesting is very important in Rajasthan because Rajasthan Desert gets very little rainfall which is around is 100 to 250 mm. in a year. Hence there is water scarcity throughout the year and also high variability from year to year. Western Rajasthan faces acute water scarcity due to poor ground water quality and lack of water resources such as rivers and canals. To tackle with this problem and
