Question 1

Calculate the maximum area that can be irrigated by a canal having discharge of 0.3 m3/s. The infiltration capacity of the soil is 4.5 cm/hr.

Question 2

The discharge capacity for rice is 2 m3/sec and for the sugarcane is 1.5 m3/sec

Find the discharge (m3/sec) capacity at the outlet.

Question 3

The discharge capacity required at the outlet to irrigate 2500 ha of sugarcane having a kor depth of 15 cm and kor period of 30 days is

Question 4

A canal was designed to supply the irrigation needs of 1200 hectares of land growing rice of 140 days base period having a Delta of 134 cm. If this canal water is used to irrigate wheat of base period 120 days having a Delta of 52 cm, the area (in hectares) that can be irrigated is

Question 5

Following data are given:
1. Available moisture holding capacity of soil=12.5cm/m depth of soil
2. Root zone depth of crop=0.8m
3. Consumptive use=5mm/day
If moisture depletion is allowed to 50% of available moisture then the frequency of irrigation will be ___(nearest integer) days.

Question 6

An agricultural land of 486 ha is to be irrigated for a crop having delta as 120 cm and 17 cm of rainfall occurred during the base period. The discharge in the canal is 2.2 cumecs. The canal should run for ‘x’ number of days to irrigate the land fully if the conveyance losses are 15%. The value of ‘x’ will be ____ (Round of nearest integer)

Question 7

Agricultural land is to be irrigated for a particular crop. The land was studied for water requirement need and following data were recorded,

field capacity = 17%, permanent wilting point = 8%, permissible depletion of available soil moisture = 55%, Dry unit weight of soil = 1700 kgf/cm3 and effective rainfall for the region is 27 mm.

The net irrigation requirement per meter depth of soil will be (in mm).
