HAZARIBAG: The Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) has constructed more than 16,000 small earth dams and check-dams in the catchment area of the Damodar river and its tributaries to save rainwater. The water, thus saved, will be used for raising more than two crops in a year.
"These dams were constructed by tapping the small rivulets as well as well as nalas for preserving rainwater using latest soil conservation measures."Times of India .
