Question
Agriculture in South India is done through ponds. Why?
✓

Answer

Most of the rivers of South India are seasonal and flow through rocky terrain.
  • It is difficult and expensive to construct canals on the peninsular plateau.
  • The topographical conditions are favourable to make ponds and tanks.
  • Irrigation by ponds is practiced in the southern states.
  • Rain water is stored in them.
  • Only coastal districts in Andhra Pradesh, delta regions of Godavari, Krishna, Mahanadi and Kaveri have intensive irrigation through canals.
