Question 12

For an Indian farmer state two advantages that well irrigation has over canal irrigation.

Answer

Two advantages that well irrigation has over canal irrigation for an Indian farmer are:

  1. Well is simplest and cheapest source of irrigation and the poor Indian farmer can easily afford it.
  2. Well is an independent source of irrigation and can be used as and when the necessity arises. Canal irrigation, on the other hand, is controlled by other agencies and cannot be used at will.
