These really met the water needs for fields, bathing, washing and other locally domestic needs.
These were built mostly for the service of the local population. While most ponds have gone out of existence but remaining some in rural areas have been located by the author. As the cost of land is shooting up and the building of houses and shoping complex is also growing, the land-use pattern too has undergone change.
