Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

Perennial canals are a good choice for irrigating large areas.

Inundation canals are usually long and originate from big rivers. They usually receive their water when the source river is in full spate or when there is a flood. Perennial canals are linked to barrages and dams, and they have water throughout the year. These canals are a good choice for irrigating large areas.
