Question

distinguish between canal and drip irrigation

Answer 1

Canal irrigation is the most important form of irrigation in India. It is cheaper. It is of greatest advantage in the river valley regions. In canal irrigation, U.P. stands first in India, followed by Punjab and Haryana. Canal irrigation is of much use in the deltas of rivers, the Godavari, the Krishna, the Kaveri and the Mahanadi and the Ganga, and in the coastal plains of Kerala.The role of Canal irrigation for modernization of irrigation in India is great. Modern Canal irrigation is now conducted, controlled and administered as a part and parcel of river valley projects.Trickle Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation, is an irrigation method that saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly to the base of the plant.

Answer 2

canal irrigation method is done by directly connecting canal with fields. in canal irrigation its not easy to control flow of water. much of water is wasted .
in drip irrigation method pipe system is applied in fields and pipes have holes. these holes are directed perpendicularly to plants root. and in this system irrigation is done by dropping single-single drop. this doesn't cause water wastage.
