abstract: Small water reservoirs behind earthen dams are called tanks in India. Tanks 
supply many villages with drinking water, but their primary purpose is for 
irrigation. Tank irrigation is an old established practice in most of the 
semi-arid tropical parts of India and of some other countries. In India, the 
monsoon rains fall erratically during a few months in the year, and irrigation 
tanks serve to store and regulate the flow of water for agricultural use. In 
southern India this is primarily for the production of rice.
