Lift irrigation by Tenda

People in Kendar use one indigenous practice for lift irrigation. They generally dig earthen dam in near the stream or nala and try to bring water to the middle land. This practice is done from many years ago. This is the only method which exists with a greater value and low cost instrument used for lift irrigation. People those do vegetable cultivation on the meddle land they use it for lifting water up to 4 to 5 ft high from the low land. For this they use bamboo and log of wood for supporting to the bamboo. They hang stone in one end of the bamboo and tie it. In the other end they put the bucket and one wood where nala is made by cutting it were kept on the earth. Through the bucket they pour water on it and it is designed so that water will go down the middle land. This is an interesting method of withdrawing water from low land to the middle land. They also keep small pieces of the bamboo for supporting themselves while withdrawing water from the earthen dam. They also cultivate vegetables in the low land and make nala to the earthen dam. In summer they also go for cultivating vegetable near the streams or near the river and follow similar strategy for the lift irrigation purpose. The total cost of the indigenous lift irrigation is approximately Rs.300 to Rs. 400.
