A watershed canal __________________?

Correct answer: D. Avoids the cross drainage works

  • A. Irrigates only on one side
  • B. Is most suitable in hilly areas
  • C. Is generally aligned parallel to the contour of the area
  • D. Avoids the cross drainage works

Explanation

A watershed canal follows the watershed divide, so drainage water does not normally cross the canal and costly cross-drainage works are avoided. A canal running parallel to contours is a contour canal, not necessarily a watershed canal.
