Telangana Activity

History tells us that both floods and droughts were regular occurrences in ancient
Telangana. Perhaps this is why every region including Telangana in the country
has its own traditional water harvesting techniques that reflect the geographical
peculiarities and cultural uniqueness of the regions. The basic concept underlying
all these techniques is that rain should be harvested whenever and wherever it
falls.

Archaeological evidence shows that the practice of water conservation is deeply

rooted in ancient Telangana science. The settlement of Telangana made wide
and tall forts with stairs from the top level to reach out to the conserved rainwater
is a great example of water engineering
A cheruvu can be a tank or a small pond that was used as a reservoir to conserve and store
water. Cheruvus are highly polluted today and the practice is dying.
