      What do you know about the 'Bamboo-Drip Irrigation System'?

    Answer:

                      In Meghalaya, a 200 year old system of tapping stream and spring water by using bamboo pipes, is prevalent. (i) Bamboo pipes are used to divert perennial springs on the hilltops to the lower reaches by gravity. (ii) The channel sections made of bamboo, divert water to the plant site, where it is distributed into branches. (iii) If the pipes pass roads, they are taken high above the land on the free branches. (iv) Reduced channel sections and diversion units are used at the last stage of water application. The last channel section enables water to be dropped near the roots of the plant.
