Q: Select the option that is appropriate regarding the following two statements labelled Assertion and Reason. Assertion: To prevent water logging, intercepting drains can be provided along the course of irrigation canals, in places where the percolation of water is detected. Reason: The percolating water is intercepted by drains and the water is carried to other natural water courses.
  • A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  • B. Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C. Both Assertion and Reason are false.
  • D. Assertion is true, but Reason is false.
Correct Answer: Option A - Prevention of percolating from canals:– The irrigation canals should be lined with impervious lining to prevent the percolation of water through the bed and banks of the canals. Thus the water logging may be prevented • Intercepting drains irrigation may be provided along the course of the irrigation canals in places where the percolation of water is defected. The percolating water is intercepted by the drains and the water is carried to other natural water course.
