The culturable commanded area for a distributary is 2 × 108m². The intensity of irrigation for a crop is 40%. If kor water depth and kor period for the crop are 14 cm and 4 weeks, respectively, the peak demand discharge is
-
- 2.63 m³/s
- 4.63 m³ /s
- 8.58 m³/s
- 11.58 m³/s
Correct Option: B
Culturable command area (CCA) = 2 × 108 m2
Area to be irrigated,
| A = | × 2 × 108 = 2 × 107 m2 | |
| 100 |
Period, B = 4 weeks = 7 × 4 = 28 days
Depth, Δ = 14 m = 0.14 m
| D = 8.64 | ||
| D |
| = 8.64 × | = 1728 m²/cumec | |
| 0.14 |
| Discharge, Q = | = | |||
| D | 1728 |
(Convert to m³/s)
Q = 4.63 m³/s
