Explain the technique practiced in Meghalaya to harvest water.
Solution
Bamboo drip irrigation system is practiced in Meghalaya to harvest water.
It is a 200-year-old system of tapping stream and spring water by using bamboo pipes which is still prevalent. About 18-20 litres of water enters the bamboo pipe system, gets transported over hundreds of metres, and finally reduces to 20-80 drops per minute at the site of the plant.
