Nature of Tank Systems • Smaller in size and larger in number with wider geographical distribution. Amenable for efficient de-centralised management. • Synergy in water harvesting as the tanks are connected in chain. • Higher irrigation efficiency due to smaller distribution network with gravity flow. • Earlier, owned, maintained and managed by village institutions by collecting revenue through their “multiple uses”. Now owned and maintained by Government.
