Question

Mention any two geographical conditions required for the setting up of tanks.

Answer 1

Two geographical conditions required for the setting up of tanks:

• Natural Depressions or Gentle Slopes: Many tanks are failing due to siltation, broken bunds, and a lack of regular desilting, lowering water storage capacity.
• Hard, Impermeable Rock Structure: Farmers are increasingly preferring wells, tube wells, and canals as irrigation methods because they give a more reliable and consistent supply of water than rainwater tanks.
