Solution

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.
