Irrigation projects MCQ — 3 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The Gurgaon Canal Project benefits the Bharatpur region of Rajasthan for irrigation. Bharatpur lies in eastern Rajasthan, close to the Haryana border, so it fits the command-area context of this canal project. Jaipur is not the region usually identified as receiving irrigation benefit from it. Kota is associated more with the Chambal irrigation system and related projects. Jodhpur lies in western Rajasthan and is linked with different water-management systems. Hence the official answer correctly names Bharatpur as the benefited region.

Explanation

The Narmada Canal Project is identified as the first irrigation project in India where the sprinkler irrigation system was made mandatory. This rule is linked with water-efficient irrigation in arid and semi-arid command areas. The Indira Gandhi Canal Project is a major desert irrigation project, but it is not the project named for this mandatory sprinkler provision. Mahi Bajaj Sagar and Chambal Canal are important irrigation projects of Rajasthan, yet the specific distinction asked here belongs to the Narmada Canal Project.

Explanation

The question asks for the mismatched irrigation project-place pair. As per the published key, Indira Lift - Ganganagar is the incorrect match. Bankali - Jalore is retained as a correctly matched pair in the question’s set. Benthali - Baran is also treated as correctly paired. Bhimlat - Bundi fits the Bundi location associated with Bhimlat. Since the item is framed negatively, the correct answer is the pair that does not match, not the best-known irrigation project among the choices.
