The Pots

Pot irrigation in Bangladesh If the rice field is small, the peasant irrigates his own field. The cheapest device is the earthenware pot. First, he walks down to the river to fill the pot with water, then back again carrying the pot on his shoulder. There may be 50 metres to walk to his rice plot.He pours the water out over the field.
