Abstract


One of the serious problems that confront a garden-land ryot is irrigation. Among the various lifts presented to a ryot, mhote is most suited since it costs little, does not require much mechanical skill and is more efficient than most other lifts.It is the endeavour of all to get more efficient work, with less exhaustion to the working animals. This is secured by the intro- duction of a two ramped or Bellary mhote. To get a definite idea a comparative study is essential of the two mhotes working side by side. At an excursion made to Vadavalli, when I was a student at the College, I happened to come across a single-ramped or local mhote and a two-ramped (Bellary) mhote working side by side in a ryot's garden.
