Question

The land is made to be sloped towards the ditches.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in an interview for job.

My doubt stems from Water Logged Reclamation in section Water Logged Reclamation and Saline Soils for Agricultural Purposes of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

To elaborate: Open ditches are constructed in fields to remove the excess rain water falling in the ground or excess irrigation water applied to the fields. So, therefore for collection of these waters the land is sloped towards these ditches.
