Question

Distinguish between inundation canal and perennial canal.

Answer 1

Hint: Canals are networks of rivers or artificial waterways for the conveyance of water or for the service of vessels for water transport. They can assist with irrigation as well. As an artificial version of a river, it can be spoken of. Under air pressure, canals bear unrestricted surface flow.

Complete answer:
Difference between inundation canal and perennial canal is as follows:

Inundation canal	Perennial canal
Without building dams, barrages, embankments, inundation canals are taken out of the rivers.	By building dams or barrages, perennial canals are removed from the rivers or reservoirs.
Only in the wet season or when the river is overflowing, are they full of water.	Throughout the year, they provide water since the water behind the dam is collected.
These canals are not useful during the dry months.	Useful all over the year.
The supply of water is uncertain.	Water supply is certain.
It irrigates only low-lying areas of land.	Irrigates all types of areas of land.

Note:As they come from river ponds or barrages, perennial canals typically have water in them all year long. Since they supply water during the year, they are more fitting for cultivation and other uses. Therefore, more inundation canals are being transformed into perennial canals for this purpose.
In the states of Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, seasonal canals are commonly used. Due to the presence of seasonal rivers in the area, it is common in these states. In addition, these canals provide water during the year for irrigation.
