Solution

The correct option is C These are diversion channels for agriculture in Himalayas.
  • Kuls are a traditional irrigation system in Hmachal Pradesh- surface channels diverting water from natural flowing streams( Khuds).
  • A typical community kuhl services six to thirty farmers, irrigating an area of about 20 hectares.
  • In hills and mountainous regions,specially in western Himalayas, people build diversion channels called guls and kuls for irrigational purposes .
  • Spiti's unique contribution to farming is kul irrigation, which utilises kuls (diversion channels) to carry water from glacier to village.
