चाही

Definition

Land irrigated from a well, and historically the highest-assessed of the irrigation classes in Rajasthan revenue records. The entry records the position as it stood when the classification was made, which may have been decades ago. A parcel marked चाही today may have a well that has collapsed, run dry, fallen below reach as groundwater declined, or been separated from the field by a family partition. Read the class, then go and look.

Well-irrigated land.
