How were the water requirements of Vijayanagara met?
उत्तर
The requirement of water in Vijayanagara was fulfilled from the natural basin formed by the river Tungabhadra. This flowed in the north-eastern direction and was surrounded by stunning granite hills. It flowed down to the river Tungabhadra.
So the rulers of the Vijayanagara got built large embankments to store water. They also constructed reservoirs of varying sizes. They also make arrangements to store the rainwater as this was the most arid zone of the peninsula. A very large tank was found built in the fifteenth century to store water. The water tank presently known as Kamalapuram tank. The water of this tank was used for several Royal centre purposes.
(i) The water from the tank was used to irrigate the nearby fields.
(ii) The water of tank fulfilled the needs of the Royal centre.
(iii) The Hiriya canal drew water from a dam across the Tungabhadra river which was used for irrigation.
