SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 32

The correct answer is Option 4, i.e. Guls

• Guls, also referred to as kuls, are intricate diversion channels strategically constructed along the contours of hillsides in the Western Himalayas.
• These channels play a pivotal role in collecting and conveying water from streams and springs to both villages and agricultural fields.
• Typically crafted from a combination of stone or earth, these guls are fortified with linings made of clay or plastic to mitigate leakage risks. Stretching across several kilometers, guls often feature multiple branches, facilitating the efficient distribution of water to diverse areas within the region.
