Explain different types of traditional methods of irrigation such as chain pump, rahat, moat, and dekhli.
Various traditional methods of irrigation
- Chain pump: It consists of two large wheels connected with an endless chain. The bottom wheel is half immersed in the water source. With the turning of the wheel, the connected buckets dip into the water source and bring water. Chain lifts them to the upper wheel where water from the bucket is transferred to the pool. The chain then carries empty buckets back down to be refilled and the process continues as a traditional method of irrigation.
- Moat (Pulley-system): During this method, water is directly collected from the well, using a pulley to irrigate fields.
- Rahat: During this method, water is drawn from the well through a wheel connected to animals like cows, buffalo, oxen, etc. With the movement of animals, wheels rotate and it draws the water from the well.
- Dhekli: During this system, a rope and bucket is connected to a pole or heavy stick to obtain water from the well. It is also connected to a heavy counterweight at the other end to draw water.
