Question

Diversion scheme, comes under which type of irrigation system?

(a) Direct Irrigation

(b) Storage Irrigation

(c) Flow Irrigation

(d) Inundation Irrigation

This question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.

My question comes from Types of Irrigation in portion Techniques & Quality of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Direct Irrigation

The explanation is: In direct irrigation system water is directly diverted to the canal without storing water. For this system low diversion weir or diversion barrage is constructed across the river. So, this gives the diversion scheme for direct irrigation system over the other systems of irrigation.
