The probable systems for water harvesting in hilly/ mountainous areas or plains or plateau regions are dams as they store water in large amount and can be used for different purposes like, irrigation, pisci-culture and to generate electricity.

Traditional techniques of water harvesting are nearly location specific. For eg. khadins, tanks and nadis in Rajasthan. Bandharas and tals in Maharashtra. Ahars and Pynes in Bihar. Kulhs in Himachal Pradesh. Ponds in Jammu.

(i) Forests are biodiversity hotspots i.e. different types of species of animals and plants are present in forests.
(ii) Forests provide wood and other raw materials for industries like paper industry, lac industry etc.
(iii) Forests help in maintaining ecological balance.
(iv) Forests provide different species of plants and animals for medicinal use.
(v) For eg. Quinine is a drug used for the treatment of malaria and it is obtained from bark of cinchona trees.
(vi) Forests prevent soil erosion.
(vii) Forests provide natural habitat for wild animals and birds and also for tribe people.
