The swing basket is made from cheap materials like woven bamboo strips, leather, or iron sheet to which four ropes are attached. Two people hold the basket facing each other, they dip the basket into the surface water and the basket is lifted by swinging it and emptied into an irrigation channel from which point the water flows to the fields.
