Advantages of Canal Irrigation
- Canal irrigation enables the development of unirrigated lands, increasing crop production in the area.
- It accelerates economic development by mitigating risks such as droughts, reducing dependence on unpredictable rainfall.
- Canals utilize rainwater from rivers or reservoirs for irrigation, supporting crops that require additional water.
- Once established, canal systems are permanent hydraulic structures requiring only maintenance for long-term benefits.
- Compared to unirrigated soils, canal irrigation leads to higher productivity per hectare.
- Canals serve multiple purposes including irrigation, hydroelectricity generation, navigation, drinking water supply, and fishery development.
- Groundwater levels rise rather than fall due to canal irrigation, facilitating easier well drilling.
- Canals are increasingly becoming tourist attractions.
