| Abstract: | An indigenous
water conservation technology was studied in Sumari village of Pauri district,
Uttaranchal. Since, the village had high population and low water quantity,
therefore, they had developed an indigenous mechanism in such a way so that the
available water could be managed properly for the use of humans and livestock.
The indigenous technology developed by villagers is termed as Nawn and Chaunree systems of water management and conservation. The present
paper investigates in detail about the Nawn
and Chaunree systems of water
conservation. |
