Answer 1

Kulh is the traditional water management system found in Himachal Pradesh. These are constructed artificially to provide water to the crops. It is a type of hydraulic system which works by providing water from the source to different users.

Complete step by step answer: 1. Kulh is the traditional irrigation canals found in Himachal Pradesh. An irrigation canal is a type of hydraulic system whose function is to convey water from a source (dam, river) to the place of use.
2.Kulh is the surface channel that diverts the water from the natural streams (khuds). This system comprises a headwall (made from river boulders) across a khud for the purpose of storing and diverting the flow to the fields through a canal. The Kuhl also contains moghas (outlets) to take out water and irrigate the nearby crop field. The water flows from field to field and if there is extra water present it goes back to khuds.
Also,
A dam is a structure that is placed across the flowing water to stop the flow.
A crop field is an area where crops are grown.
So, the correct answer to the above question is option B i.e. Irrigation canal.

Note: Kulh is the irrigation canal found in Himachal Pradesh. These are man-made and they serve the purpose of providing water to the crop fields from the natural stream through a canal. The system also comprises an outlet to irrigate the nearby fields. The surplus water, if any, would flow back to the stream from it came.
