Lift irrigation involves lifting water from surface or underground sources using mechanical means and supplying it directly to agricultural land. There are indigenous and mechanical methods of lifting water. Mechanical methods include windmills, hydraulic rams, and various types of pumps. Lift irrigation has advantages like preventing over-irrigation and lowering water tables. Tank irrigation involves constructing earthen dams (called tanks) to store monsoon rainfall for irrigation. Tanks are suitable in the Deccan region due to natural depressions and non-porous rocks that prevent seepage. Tanks can be connected in series or exist in isolation, supplying water through sluices.

– When water is lifted surface sources or underground
source by man or other mechanical power and directly supplied to the agricultural land , then it is know as lift irrigation. METHOD OF LIFTING WATER – INDIGENOUS METHOD – MECHANICAL METHOD INDIGENOUS METHOD – Basket – Doon – Denki – Archimedean screw – Windlass – mote MECHANICAL METHOD – WINDMILL – HYDRAULIC RAM – PUMPS TYPE OF PUMP
– DEEP WELL TURBINE PUMP
– DEEP WELL JET PUMP – AIR LIFT PUMP ADVANTAGE
– There is no possibility of over irrigation
– Water table is lowered when water is lifted from the well thereby reducing chances of water logging in area. – Loss of water is low , hence duty is high. – The maintenance cost is low. – Loss of valuable land is prevented as there is no necessity of constructing the network of canal TANK IRRIGATION
– It is defined as the storage irrigation scheme, which
utilises the water stored on the upstream side of a smaller earth dam, called bund. – The earthen bunds reservoir are called tank. – Tanks possess a maximum depth of 4.5m while a few are as 7.5 to 9 m and few exceptional one exceed 11m – When the depth of tank exceed 12m or so , the tank is generally referred as reservoir Conditions Required for Tank Irrigation – 1. There should be hard rocks or impervious layer below so that water does not seep in. – 2. There should be some means of filling up again. Advantages of Tank Irrigation – It allows the surplus water during monsoons to be stored and used later. – It is easy and economical to construct. – It helps to raise the underground water level. Disadvantages of Tank Irrigation – 1. Tanks use up large areas of land which could be used for agriculture. – 2. They dry up in summer and are not of much use. – 3. A lot of water evaporates as they are very shallow. – 4. It is difficult to carry water to the fields due to rocky terrain. The tanks are popular in the Deccan because – 1. Natural depressions are found here so they are cheaper to build – 2. Non Porous rocks found here prevent seepage of water – 3. A number of streams are found here, which overflow during the rainy season. So water which would have got wasted is utilized. – 4: The population and agricultural fields are scattered so tank irrigation is well suited. TANKS IN SERIES – Any tank either receives the surplus water of the upper tanks or send its own surplus into the some lower tank ISOLATED TANK – When tank neither receives water from a upper tank nor discharge its own surplus into a lower tank TANK SLUICES OR TANK OUTLET – Tank sluice is an opening in form of a culvert or a pipe running through or under tank bund and supplying water from tank to distributaries channel
