Answer:
Perennial Canals: These canals flow all the year round and thus they are known as perennial canals. They draw water from perennial rivers or from artificial lakes which maintain a high level of water on the upstream side.
Inundation Canal: These canals are directly taken out of rivers without building any barrage or dams. When the rivers are in flood, excess water flows into these canals. These canals are not useful during the dry months.
Advantages of Perennial canals is that they have water in them for all the year round. On the contrary inundation canal becomes dry during summer months or they become dry when the river changes it course.
