Tank irrigation is mainly practiced in which of the following states of India due to uneven terrain and less rainfall?
Karnataka
Tank irrigation involves storing rainwater and runoff in small reservoirs called tanks, which are then used to irrigate fields.
It is widely practised in the peninsular plateau states of southern India, where the hard rocky and uneven terrain prevents easy digging of wells and the impervious surface allows rainwater to collect in natural depressions.
Among the given options, Karnataka, a peninsular state with undulating terrain and relatively low, uneven rainfall, is a major region for tank irrigation.
Hence, tank irrigation is mainly practised in Karnataka.
