The diagram below shows two methods of collecting water for irrigation purposes. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparison where relevant

Two pictures provided illustrate two different ways that farmers apply to get

water

for their crops.

Overall

, there are differences in locations and equipment

as well as

power sources used to get

water

. Having looked at the first picture given,

it is clear that

the labour force plays a major role.

Also

,

water

is usually taken from shallow areas of 1 to 2 metres.

In addition

, simple tools are utilised

such

as baskets made of bamboo or leather and ropes. Regarding the process, two strong farmers stand firmly and use their strength to swing the basket so the collected

water

is poured directly into the fields.

Whereas

, the second method takes advantage of the ox. It takes

water

from the steep well, about 50 metres in depth. The system is more complicated than the first method, which contains a pulley, rollers, ropes, and a bucket. The process begins when the ox goes the slope, the bucket is pulled up thanks to the system of rollers and pulleys. Unlike the first method, the collected

water

is stored in an irrigation channel before being distributed to the fields.
