Solution
The correct option is B Tamil Nadu
Tank irrigation includes
storage of water by constructing a bund across the stream. Peninsular plateau
is leading in tank irrigation out of which Andhra Pradesh stands first.
It is also suitable in Tamil
Nadu region.
Tank irrigation becomes
continuous source of water and helps in preventing wastage of rain water
especially in Deccan region where temperature is very high.
But
the demerit of tank irrigation is that water can be lost through evaporation.
