Name one type of irrigation mostly responsible for waterlogging phenomenon.

Answer 1

Canal irrigation, especially when not properly managed, leads to over-irrigation. In areas where the water table is already high, the excess water from canals seeps into the ground and raises the water table even further. When the water table reaches near the surface, the soil becomes saturated and the extra water accumulates on the surface this condition is known as waterlogging.
