Irrigation tank

An irrigation tank is like a big bathtub for plants. It has walls all around it to hold water, and a place where water can come in and go out. The tank is made to keep water in one place, so it can be used to water plants and crops later on. It is usually built near fields or farmlands where plants are grown so that they do not have to be watered separately.

Now imagine you have a small garden with different plants, flowers, and herbs. What do you do when it doesn't rain for a while or when you are going out of town, and you can't water them? You may worry about your plants drying out and dying, right? So, you use a watering can to pour water onto each plant to keep them happy, healthy, and hydrated.

Similarly, farmers have big fields and crops that need water regularly, and it is not practical to go around with a watering can. So, they use an irrigation tank to water their fields. But instead of using a watering can, they use pipes and channels to transport water from the tank to the fields.

The tank collects water from different sources like rain, rivers, or underground wells. When the tank is full, the water is distributed to the crops by setting up irrigation channels or pipes that can carry the water to the fields. These can be arranged in a way that allows the water to flow over the crops, or it can be delivered directly to the roots of the plants using an irrigation system.

By using an irrigation tank, farmers can ensure that their plants get enough water to grow properly, even during droughts or dry seasons. It helps them increase their crop yield and produce more fruits, vegetables, and grains to feed people. It is like having a big water tank for your plants but on a much larger scale!
