Irrigation - Engineering

Q1:

A water-logged land is found suitable for cultivation due to

A ease of tillage for preparation of the field for optimum condition of germination

B absence of aeration of soil from root zone of the plant

C regular supply of water to plants from the water table by capillary action

D none of these.

ANS:D - none of these.

In the water-logged area, the salt content is very much. To make suitable for cultivation it requires leaching process (irrigation without cultivation). It reduces the salt content to such an extent so that inferior crops can be cultivated.
