Answers

Answered by Jaygopal

Advantages:

1. Whenever necessity is felt, in any tract locally, well may be sunk to start open well irrigation. Much consideration need not be given to any of the other factors which are given proper weightage while introducing canal irrigation.

2. There is no need of constructing many and expensive hydraulic structures. The cost of well irrigation project is therefore much less.

Jaygopal: Disadvantages:

1. To make the water available for irrigation purposes it is necessary to lift it from underground. For lifting the water power is required. Thus the well irrigation is much dependent on the availability of power or trouble free working of the machinery which is very rare thing.

2. Sometimes cost of well water is so high that the returns obtained from it are not justifiable.
