(c) The percolation loss can be reduced by keeping the intensity of irrigation low

(d) There is no way to keep a watch over the problem of water-logging

I had been asked this question in an online quiz.

The doubt is from Salinity and Water-logging topic in division Water Logged Reclamation and Saline Soils for Agricultural Purposes of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) There is no way to keep a watch over the problem of water-logging

To elaborate: By observing variations in the ground-water level is one of the ways of keeping a check on the problem. It can be done by measuring the depth of water levels at regular intervals in the wells dug in the area.
