No Tech Magazine has this excellent article that should be of immense value as India struggles to cope with alternating dry spells and occasional very heavy rain on its coasts. Water Johads were the method of water storage before colonial rule, and they might be considered along with other rainwater harvesting methods being introduced these days. If they worked for thousands of years before the British came to India, there is no reason why they should not work now.
