Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Surface Irrigation Systems

Subtopic: Surface Irrigation Systems

Question Statement:

In border strip irrigation, the advance trajectory $x = f(t)$ is commonly modeled by the empirical power law equation:

Options:

  • (A) $x = a t^b$, where $b < 1$
  • (B) $x = a t^2$
  • (C) $x = a e^{b t}$
  • (D) $x = a / t$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Advance rate decelerates over time due to continuous infiltration loss across the wetted strip, fitting $x = a t^b$ with exponent $b$ typically ranging between $0.5$ and $0.8$.
