Answer 2

India has a wide variety of water resourcesand a highly varied climate. Under suchconditions, several different kinds of irrigationsystems are adopted to supply water toagricultural lands depending on the kinds ofwater resources available. These includewells, canals, rivers and tanks.
Wells: There are two types of wells,namely dug wells and tube wells. In adug well, water is collected from waterbearing strata. Tube wells can tapwater from the deeper strata. Fromthese wells, water is lifted by pumpsfor irrigation.
Canals: This is usually an elaborateand extensive irrigation system. In thissystem canals receive water from oneor more reservoirs or from rivers. Themain canal is divided into branchcanals having further distributaries toirrigate fields.
River Lift Systems: In areas wherecanal flow is insufficient or irregulardue to inadequate reservoir release,the lift system is more rational. Wateris directly drawn from the rivers forsupplementing irrigation in areasclose to rivers.
Tanks: These are small storagereservoirs, which intercept and storethe run-off of smaller catchmentareas.
