Answer
Tank irrigation is more popular in southern India because of following two reasons:
- Most of the area of peninsular India is uneven with many natural depressions where the tanks can be built.
- The Deccan plateau consists of underlying hard rocks which are impervious or non-porous. These rocks do not allow the water to seep through.
