Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Agricultural Drainage and Salinity

Subtopic: Agricultural Drainage and Salinity

Question Statement:

Hooghoudt's steady-state equation for drain spacing $S$ with impermeable layer at depth $d$ below the drain level is:

Options:

  • (A) $S^2 = \frac{4 K_1 m^2 + 8 K_2 d m}{q}$
  • (B) $S = \frac{4 K m^2}{q}$
  • (C) $S^2 = \frac{K d m}{q}$
  • (D) $S = \sqrt{\frac{q}{4 K m}}$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Hooghoudt's equation is $S^2 = \frac{4 K_1 m^2 + 8 K_2 d m}{q}$, where $m$ is water table midpoint rise, $d$ is equivalent depth, and $q$ is drainage recharge rate.
