Solution

The correct option is B

perennial Rajasthan Canal


Answer: (2) perennial Rajasthan Canal

In western Rajasthan, sadly the practice of rooftop rainwater harvesting is on the decline as plenty of water is available due to the perennial Indira Gandhi Canal. Some houses still maintain the tankas since they do not like the taste of tap water.

  • Perennial Canals flow throughout the year.
  • They draw water from perennial rivers or from artificial reservoirs which sustain a high water level on the upstream side.
