What are the sour

Before the access to electricity in Palampur, farmers used to draw water from wells through Persian wheels and irrigate the fields. They also used to be dependent on rainfall for irrigation over large areas. The irrigation system of the village became well developed when electricity reached to Palampur. Now farmers started using electric tubewell which is able to irrigate much larger areas of land more efficiently. The first tubewell was installed by the government followed by many private tube wells. Water from canal and dam was also drawn with the help of electricity to irrigate the land. Sources of irrigation also include pump sets.
