Abstract

This book explores traditional water management practices in hilly terrains, specifically the Kalvarapaja system in the Sarivaja area. It examines how stone slabs and water diversion channels are used to control water flow, prevent erosion, and enhance soil moisture retention. The study highlights the importance of these practices in sustainable agriculture, emphasizing the role of groundwater recharge in sloped regions. By combining cultural knowledge with modern environmental principles, the book provides a unique perspective on water management techniques that can support sustainable farming and ecosystem conservation in challenging geographical areas.

The book covers a broad scope, though I wish some areas had been explored in more detail.
