What to Focus On

  • Surface water includes rivers, lakes, ponds and canals.
  • Groundwater is rainwater that seeps into the ground through cracks and crevices.
  • The Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna system is the largest river system in India by catchment area.
  • Irrigation is artificial water supply to crops.
  • The south-west monsoon gives 90% of India's rainfall.
  • Rainfall in India is seasonal and uneven.
  • Soft, fertile soil and gentle slopes help canal and well irrigation.
  • Deep clay subsoil stores rainwater and supports groundwater.
  • Perennial rivers support irrigation in the plains.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Groundwater means all water found below the land surface.

Canal irrigation and well irrigation are different because one covers about 40% and the other covers about 12% of irrigated area.

Inundation canals and perennial canals are the same because both carry river water.

Memory Tips

India has only 4% of the world’s water resources despite having 16% of the world’s population
