Jharkhand has water scarcity in most season, so this structure is constructed to save water. By contribution of villagers and their labour to construct this structure is called "sharmdaan" in local language. The construction of this structure generally begins by the end of December and is ensured to be completed before monsoon. It's size varies as per the catchment area. The size of this structure may be 30ft to 100ft in length and 30ft to 100ft in width and its depth is kept 10ft. The water helps in ground water recharge, irrigation and fish farming providing a source of livelihood to poor farmers.

Awesome, so it catches rain water? I love low-tech solutions like this. Have you heard of using plastic water bottles to cool your home?

Water is priceless. Many of us have taken the resource for granted for so long. It's nice to see a post like yours showing people taking water seriously as it should be. I wish I would have seen your post about 4 months ago so that I could have upvoted it.
