Question

Rangappa has a piece of farmland next to the river Krishna, whereas his brother Sangappa has farmland away from the flow of the river. What method of irrigation should Rangappa adopt (A) and what method of irrigation should Sangappa adopt (B)?

• A. A:River lift irrigation; B:Well irrigation
• B. A:Well irrigation; B:Canal irrigation
• C. A:Tube well irrigation; B:Drip irrigation
• D. A:Canal irrigation; B: Drip irrigation.

Answer 1

The correct option is A A:River lift irrigation; B:Well irrigation

Since the water of river Krishna is easily available for irrigation to Rangappa, he can use the river lift method of irrigation. In this method, water is directly lifted from the river using pumps. In the case of Sangappa, river lift method is not possible because of the long distance. So he can dig a well in his farmland and irrigate the crops.
