  1. An agricultural land of 437 ha is to be irrigated for a particular crop. The base period of the crop is 90 days and the total depth of water required by the crop is 105 cm. If a rainfall of 15 cm occurs during the base period, the duty of irrigation water is
    1. 437 ha/cumec
    2. 486 ha/cumec
    3. 741 ha/cumec
    4. 864 ha/cumec
Correct Option: D

Net water required = 105 – 15 = 90 cm
D × Delta = Duty × Base period

D =
1 × (90 × 24 × 60 × 60)
× 104 (m² to hectare) = 864 hectares/curve
0.9

Duty =
864 × B
=
864 × 90
= 864 ha/cumec
Δ90
