Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Persian wheel (Rahat)’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rehat is a traditional irrigation system almost 1300 years old. Also known as the Water Wheel or the Persian wheel, it is made of a chain of buckets attached to a wheel which is then moved by another wheel using human or animal power.
Detailed explanation-3: -Two gear wheels make up the system and as the first one is revolved, the pots each dip and swallow water from the well and soon after pours itself out to a metallic shaft which in turns empties into an intricate network of troughs that distributes water adequately through the cropped area.
