Write about the ponds as the conventional water management source and name a few ponds of Rajasthan.

Answer»

Ponds have been existing since times immemorial in Rajasthan. Ponds collect rain water. There used to be wells too by the side of ponds. They were under the care of the community/society. Ponds of religious significance have been looked after and conserved very well. Many of the ponds have been urbanised. Ponds of Rajasthan need to be properly and instantly taken care of because they are the source of water for many wells and stepwells (Bawadis). 

A few important ponds of Rajasthan are – 

1. Sukhsagar, Kalasagar, Jangali ponds of Ranthambor. 

2. Bagolia pond of Udaipur. 

3. Edward sagar of Dungarpur. 

4. Sareri, Khari, Meja ponds of Bhilwara, 

5. Parvati and Baretha ponds of Bharatpur. 

6. Hemavas, Dantiwada & Muthana ponds of Pali
