Detailed Solution

People built ‘Guys’ or ‘Kuls’ in the Western Himalayas for irrigation. There are different types of water conservation techniques used by various people all over India, and ‘Guys’ or ‘Kuls’ is also one of those techniques used in Western Himalayan regions, or we can say Himachal Pradesh mainly. The people of Himachal Pradesh invented this technique to fulfil their irrigation needs by harvesting water; they store water in a large reservoir and release the water when there is a need for irrigation. This technique also creates a channel of diversion wherever implemented. Himachal Pradesh is a hilly area, and water harvesting is a necessary concern for the people living here.
