The correct answer is the flow channel.

Key Points

  • Flow channel
    • These are also called gravity irrigation.
    • It is the type of irrigation in which water is available at a higher level to enable supply to the land by gravity flow. Hence, Option 4 is correct.

Additional Information

Lift irrigation

When groundwater is lifted up to be used as irrigation water or water supply is at too low a level to run by the gravitation of the land.

In this water is lifted up by some mechanical means such as a pump.

Drip irrigation

This is also called trickle irrigation as water is directly applied to the root zone of the plant using a drip nozzle.

In this method evaporation and percolation losses are very less.

This is the most efficient method.

Sprinkler irrigation

In this method of irrigation water is applied through a network of pipes and pumps. This method is suitable:

  • when topography is irregular or rolling.
  • when the water table is high 
  • when water is not easily available 
  • for more permeable as well as less permeable soil
