Question

What does the crop rate system may lead to?

(a) Overutilization Water

(b) Careful use of Water

(c) Sufficient use of Water

(d) Insufficient use of Water

I had been asked this question in an online quiz.

This key question is from Method of Pricing Irrigation topic in section Irrigation Revenue Rates of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Overutilization Water

The explanation: As this method does not encourage the cultivators to economically use the water, it leads to over utilization of water which in turn leads waterlogging, salinity of irrigated lands, and wastage of precious irrigation water, which ultimately leads to scarcity of irrigation water.
