The construction of tanks is evidenced by archaeological excavation. Among the earliest belonging to the historical period are those from Rupar and Ujjain (IAR, 1954-55, p.9 ; 1957-58, p.36) which are dated roughly to the phase 600-200 B.C. They were large tanks. At Rupar the tank embankment is made of a brick wall and a brick-built inlet provides for the coming of rain-water.
