Uninzi lwacinga ukuba lunika izinto ezingalunganga kunye nokunyuka ukuchasana nokuchasana neeprojekthi ezininzi, inkqubo yokuvuna kwamanzi yayiyindlela esebenzayo, yoqoqosho lwentlalo noqoqosho kunye nendawo ekuhlaleni. E-India yakudala, kunye nezakhiwo ze-hydraulic ezinobuchule, bekukho isiko esingaqhelekanga senkqubo yokuvuna kwamanzi. Abantu babenolwazi olunzulu lweerejimeni zemvula kunye neentlobo zomhlaba kwaye baphuhliswa ubuchwephesha bomhlaba kunye namanzi aphantsi komhlaba, amanzi aphantsi komhlaba, amanzi aphantsi kunye neemfuno zemozulu. Kwimimandla yasendulini kunye neentaba, abantu bakha iindlela zokutshintsha njengama ‘gulls’ okanye ‘i-gull’ yendlu yasentshona yezolimo. ‘I-Doophati yokuvunwa kwamanzi emvula’ yayiqhele ukugcinwa ukugcina amanzi okusela, ngakumbi eRajasthan. Kumathafa omkhukula waseBengal, abantu baphuhlise iziteshi zokungasebenziyo ukunkcenkceshela amasimi abo. Kummandla otyhafileyo kunye ne-semid-rid, amasimi ezolimo aguqulwa abe yimvula yemvula evumele amanzi ukuba ame kwaye atyhafe umhlaba ‘kwi-jaisins’ eJalisolmer noJohads ‘kwezinye iindawo zikaRajasthan.
Kwimimandla eseleyo ye-rajasthan, ngakumbi kwi-Bikaner, uThalodi naseBarmer, phantse kuzo zonke izindlu ngokwesiko babeneetanki eziphantsi komhlaba okanye iitanki zokugcina amanzi okusela. Iitanki zinokuba zininzi njengegumbi elikhulu; Indlu enye eThalodi yayinetanki eyayineemitha ezi-6,1 ubunzulu, iimitha ezi-4.27 ubude kunye ne-2.44 upepters ububanzi. I-Tankas yayiyinxalenye yenkqubo yokuvunwa kwamanzi emvula ephuhlisiweyo kwaye yakhiwa ngaphakathi kwendlu enkulu okanye intendelezo. Babexhunyiwe eluphahleni lwendawo yezindlu ngombhobho. Imvula iwela eluphahleni angahamba phantsi kombhobho kwaye igcinwe kwezi tanki ‘zeTakas’. Isipelingi sokuqala semvula sasidla ngokuqokelelwa njengoko siza kucoca uphahla kunye nemibhobho.
Amanzi emvula avela kwiileyile ezilandelayo emva koko aqokelelwa. Amanzi emvula anokugcinwa kwiitanki de imvula elandelayo iyenza ibe ngumthombo othembekileyo wamanzi xa yonke eminye imithombo yomile. ngakumbi kwihlobo. Amanzi emvula, okanye i-Puiri eqholethi, njengoko kubhekiswa kuwo kula macandelo, kuthathwa njengeyona ndlela icocekileyo yamanzi endalo. Izindlu ezininzi ezakhiwe ziphantsi kwamagumbi aphantsi komhlaba edibana ‘Tanka’ ukubetha ubushushu behlobo njengoko inokuthi igcine igumbi lipholile.
Namhlanje, kwintshona eNtshona Rajasthan, okulusizi kukuba kusonjululwe eluphahleni lwamanzi emvula kukwehla amanzi amaninzi kuyafumaneka ngenxa ye-Tankera Gandhial, nangona ezinye izindlu zisayigcina incasa yamanzi.
Ngethamsanqa, kwiindawo ezininzi zasemaphandleni nase-Urban India, indawo yophahla lwamanzi emvula kufuneka ihlengahlengiswe ngempumelelo ukugcina nokugcina amanzi. EGendathur, ilali ngasemva eMysuru, eKarnataka, abahlali bafake indawo yokuhlala, ekuvunweni kwamanzi amahlahla, ukuvuna kwamanzi emvula ukuze bahlangabezane neemfuno zabo zamanzi. Phantse amakhaya angama-200 afake le nkqubo kwaye ilali ifumene umahluko onqabileyo wokuba sisityebi kumanzi emvula. Jonga umzobo 3.6 ukufumana ukuqonda okungcono kwendlela yokuvunwa kwamanzi emvula enophahla ehlengahlengiswa apha. I-Gendathuur ifumana i-1 000 mm, kwaye ineepesenti ezingama-80 zokuqokelela impumelelo kunye ne-10 yokuzalisa, yonke indlu inokuqokelela kwaye isebenzise iilitha ezingama-50 000 zamanzi ngonyaka. Ukusuka kwizindlu ezingama-200, isixa seminatha yamanzi emvula esivunwa minyaka le kwiilitha ezili-1,00,000.
