The structures constructed along are distributaries are called as _______

Inlets

Outlets

Channels

Distributaries

Correct Answer : Option (B) : Outlets

Explanation : An outlet is a simple and small irrigation structure which is constructed along the distributaries. The amount of water that is withdrawn through the outlet is in proportion to the area that is irrigated below respective point.
