Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Soil-Water-Plant Relationship

Subtopic: Water requirement of crops

Question Statement:

A crop has a base period of $B = 120\text{ days}$ and a total depth of water required during the base period (delta) of $\Delta = 60\text{ cm}$ ($0.60\text{ m}$). Using the standard duty formula $D = \frac{8.64 B}{\Delta}$, calculate the duty of irrigation water in $\text{ha/cumec}$.

Answer Key:

1728

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$D = \frac{8.64 \times B}{\Delta} = \frac{8.64 \times 120}{0.60} = 8.64 \times 200 = 1728\text{ ha/cumec}$
