| Irrigational facilities | |
| Jagdispur is not surrounded by any river is situated at a high elevation, so this sometimes creates the problem for irrigation. River Ganges flows 24 km away in the Western direction of the city and it is not possible to control irrigation with river Ganges. In the Sub-division most of the irrigation is done with help of Big Sone Canal which runs from the River Sone covering the Sub-Division from East to West and drains in River Ganges in the West. Sub-Canals are made which creates a network of canals in not only in the sub-division but also in the whole district. | |
