sailaba

• Sailaba irrigation uses the surface run-off of hill slopes. Whenever a sufficient quantity of rainfall takes place, water flows down hill slopes and reaches the plains, where the agricultural fields are located. This water is diverted into the fields and nourishes the crops. Of course, a sufficient quantity of rainfall does not take place every year, so this method of irrigation has limited utility. The available water is never enough to irrigate a large area of land.
