Question

State two geographical conditions essential for the construction of canal irrigation.

Answer 1

Two geographical conditions essential for the construction of canal irrigation:

• Perennial Source of Water: Canals require a continual supply of water from perennial rivers, preferably fed by glaciers or with consistent rainfall, to allow year-round irrigation.
• Gentle Slope of the Land: The land should have a modest gradient so that water can flow freely through the canal without requiring excessive pumping.
