Which of the following statement is TRUE for Basin Irrigation Method?
Answer: C
The true statement is that basin irrigation is used for crops that are not affected by standing water for 12-24 hours.
In basin irrigation the field is divided into level plots surrounded by low bunds, and each basin is filled with water that stands until it soaks in. It suits crops that tolerate standing water for a day or so, such as rice, wheat, fodder and orchard trees.
Long parallel strips separated by low ridges describe border irrigation, not basins. Row crops such as maize and sorghum are usually irrigated by furrows. Basin irrigation uses relatively large quantities of water, so 'less time and less water' is wrong.
