Which of the following statements is correct?

a- As Vijayanagara is located in an arid zone elaborate arrangements had to be made to store rainwater and conduct it to the city.
b- Kamalapuram Tank was built to irrigate fields and supply water to the royal center.

Both statements are correct

In almost all cases embankments were built along these streams to create reservoirs of varying sizes. As this is one of the most arid zones of the peninsula, elaborate arrangements had to be made to store rainwater and conduct it to the city. The most important such tank was built in the early years of the fifteenth century and is now called Kamalapuram tank. Water from this tank not only irrigated fields nearby but was also conducted through a channel to the “royal centre”.
