way. Tanka is an underground cemented water reservoir to collect rain water or to collect
water from tanker brought from external sources.
Mohallah
A mohallah is the smallest unit of locality representation. A mohallah represents some
pocket of human population, cattle counts and water bodies. Every mohallah is
in a village. In other words, many mohallahs form a village. A group villages constitutes a
district. A group of districts constitutes states.
Water harvesting Level
This is a type of report generated by Neerjaal system. The report generated is based on live data feed from the
villagers. Water harvestiving level indicated the amount /
volume (in Liter) of water collected in underground reservoir i.e. Tanka for the selected period. The
volume collected in the selected period is compared with the same period of the previous year and the
difference indicates the trend of deviation. If the deviation is on the positive side - it indicates
improvement in the water harvesting activities in the region, otherwise it is not good and needs proper
improvement in local awareness and corrective measures immediately.
