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.
In mountainous areas instead of traditional water harvesting system, check dams are built across the seasonally flooded gullies. In this system running water is stored and diverted to the required places such water does not remain stagnant for long, hence there is less chance of it becoming polluted like that of pond water.
