These traditional structures have supported local communities for generations by providing drinking water and improving agricultural productivity, thereby boosting the profitability and well-being of farmers and their families. Divided into three parts, the first part delves into the traditional water-conserving structures of Kangra, emphasizing their significance in enhancing agricultural productivity and managing local water resources. The second part focuses on the well-organized, community-managed Kuhls system of Kangra and its role in boosting agricultural productivity and farmer?s incomes. Last part discusses the role of institutions in managing water resources, and outlines the way forward for conserving traditional structures to address growing water and food scarcity concerns. Finally, the book concludes with practical recommendations aimed at promoting sustainable development in the Kangra Valley. The book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, institutions, and stakeholders interested in traditional indigenous knowledge and sustainable water management practices. .
