'The Concept of Large Water Tanks in The River Bed' (Solution to problem of water shortage and draught)

摘要

There are some regions which are not dependant on monsoon for water and sufficient water flows in the rivers throughout the year. There is no problem of water shortage in these regions. Other regions are partially or fully dependant on monsoon for water. Sufficient water is available in the dams and the rivers in these regions when there is average or above average rain fall in the monsoon. However, many places are far off from municipal water supply systems. Hence, such remote places suffer from scarcity and shortage of water even when there is average rain fall in the monsoon because the rivers almost become dry in few months after monsoon is over. When rain fall is below average then entire region faces water shortage problem. Situation becomes critical when there is draught.
