Detailed Solution

The Farmers used Persian Wheels to draw water from the wells and irrigate small fields.
The spread of electricity helped the farmers of Palampur tremendously. Electricity came early to Palampur, which transformed the system of irrigation. The farmers used Persian wheels to draw water from the wells and irrigate small fields. Electric tube wells replaced these Persian wheels after the development of electricity. People understood that the electric run tubewells could irrigate much larger areas more effectively. The government installed the first tubewell in the village. The farmers started setting up their private tube wells after observing their effectiveness. As a result, the entire cultivated area of 200 hectares was irrigated by the mid-1970s.
