Answer:
In the rahat (LEVER SYSTEM) system of irrigation, water is drawn out from a well. In this method, there is a large wheel fixed on an axle above the mouth of the well. A long belt with many, many small metal pots is put over the circumference of big wheel which can move over the wheel when the wheel turns. The lower end of the long belt of pots dips in the water of the well. The big wheel is turned by using a lever system driven by the force of bullocks. When the bullocks move the long, horizontal handle of the lever- system by going round and round, the big wheel fixed over the mouth of well starts rotating. When the wheel rotates, the water filled pots come out of the well one after other, go over the wheel, come downward,pour water in channel, get emptied and then go down again into the well to bring out more water. The water brought out by the pots connected to a continuously rotating belt is used for irrigation in the fields.
