PARAPHRASE

The diagrams illustrate two different approach to fetch water as to irrigate the fields.

As can be seen, both system are incomplex. However, they rely on different forms of power and collect water from different depths.

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

The swing basket is used to collect groundwater that is usually one to two metres deep. It consists of a bamboo or leather basket tied to ropes. First, two people hold the ropes and collect the water from the ground. Then they swing it over a hill and into irrigation channels where it flows to farmland.

BODY 1

Unlike the swing basket the rope and the bucket are pulled by and ox. This animal is stronger than humans, so it can be used to collect water from a 50 meter well. This method consists of a buck and pulley system. The ox is attached to they pulley, and as it walks downhill, the bucket rises from the well. Water is then poured into irrigation channels.
