Irrigation water is to be provided to a crop in a field to bring the moisture content of the soil from the existing 18% to the field capacity of the soil at 28%. The effective root zone of the crop is 70 cm, If the densities of the soil and water are 1.3 g/cm3 and 1.0 g/cm³ respectively, the depth of irrigation water (in mm) required for irrigating the crop is _________.
-
- 91 mm
- 90 mm
- 92mm
- 92.5 mm
Correct Option: A
91
Depth of irrigation water required, dw
dw = | d.(fc - w) | |
gw |
= | × (70 × 10)(0.28 - 0.18) = 91 mm | |
