Every village or town had to have these sources within or around its boundary. The water, in these sources, used to get replenished by rains without any human effort or cost. There were a few areas in the world, where rainfall was scanty. Human settlements naturally did not develop there, because water is essential for sustenance of life, just like the atmospheric air. It is one of the basic constituents of environment. Realizing the importance of water, many civilizations and religions had attached great respect and care for this commodity. Wastage of water was declared to be a great “Sin”! It had social and religious sanctions against misuse, excess use, over extraction and destruction Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
