Answer 1

The correct option is D Inundation canal system

There are many systems of water harvesting. The one which is followed in Bengal is called the Inundation Canal System. These are systems which are mostly constructed on the side of perennial rivers.

Inundation channels are channels meant to carry overflow of water from rivers and other water bodies to fields for irrigation. Such channels have been a traditional means of water harvesting in India.
