  1. 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 _________.
    1. 91 mm
    2. 90 mm
    3. 92mm
    4. 92.5 mm
Correct Option: A

91
Depth of irrigation water required, dw

dw =
g
d.(fc - w)
gw

=
1.3
× (70 × 10)(0.28 - 0.18) = 91 mm
