Question

Write a short note on Farm Ponds.

Answer 1

1. A farm pond is a structure dug out on the Earth. It is usually square or rectangular
   in shape.
2. Rainwater is stored in it for irrigation purposes. It is surrounded by a small bund, which
   prevents erosion on the banks of the pond.
3. The size and depth of the pond depend on the type of soil, water requirements of the
   farmer, its uses, and the cost of excavation.
4. Water is conveyed to the fields manually, by pumping, or by both.
