Question

The district of Ambala is dependent for irrigation on?
1. Tubewells
2. Canal
3. Rainfall
4. Multi channels

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Canal

The correct answer is Canals.

• Tubewells irrigation makes it possible to irrigate a much larger area.
• Groundwater is easily available under tubewell irrigation.
• The water table is fairly close to the surface.
• During periods of drought, as the surface water dries up due to no rainfall the tubewell irrigation is more reliable than other types of irrigation.
• This method of irrigation is suitable for smallholdings.
• The district of Ambala is dependent on irrigation on Canals.
• Canals building leads to the development of the un-irrigated wasteland.
• During the fluctuations in rainfall intensity, the water requirement of crops can be met by having a proper system of irrigation.
• It also serves other purposes such as hydroelectricity, drinking water supply, fishery development, and navigation.
• The construction of canals required economic investment and time.
