Solution
The correct option is C Both 1 & 2
The canal irrigation in India is second-most widely used after well irrigation. The Government is usually in charge of the construction and maintenance of canals.
Generally, the canal systems are of two types namely- inundation canals and perennial canals.
In inundation canals, water is drawn directly from the river without building a dam.
On the other hand, in perennial canals, a dam is constructed across the river and water is stored in the reservoir and used for agriculture through canals.
