Question

Mention, two geomorphic conditions which are essential for the introduction of canal irrigation.

Answer 1

1. Level or Gently Sloping Land: A flat or gently sloping terrain allows water to flow easily and uniformly through canals by gravity, ensuring efficient distribution across fields.
2. Presence of Perennial Rivers: Canal irrigation requires a steady water source, typically from perennial rivers. The availability of such rivers with sufficient water flow is crucial for sustaining canals, especially during dry seasons.
