महाराष्ट्रातील खालीलपैकी कोणती सिंचन पद्धत फार मोठ्या प्रमाणात वापरली जाते ?

The correct answer is Option B (Flow / Flood / Surface Irrigation method (मोकाट सिंचन)).

Key Points:
• Irrigation Patterns in Maharashtra:
• Despite policy promotion of micro-irrigation systems, traditional Flood/Surface Flow Irrigation (मोकाट / मोकळे / प्रवाही सिंचन) remains the most widely practiced method covering the vast majority of gross irrigated farmland in Maharashtra (particularly for water-intensive cash crops like sugarcane, cotton, and paddy).
• Surface flood irrigation leads to substantial transit water loss through evaporation and percolation, prompting the state to actively incentivize Drip (ठिबक) and Sprinkler (तुषार) methods.
• Source-wise, Well Irrigation (विहीर सिंचन) accounts for over 55-60% of the state's net irrigated area, followed by Canal irrigation.
• Key Takeaway: Surface flood/flow irrigation (मोकाट सिंचन) remains the most extensively practiced irrigation method across Maharashtra.
