  1. A canal irrigates a portion of a culturable command area to grow sugarcane and wheat. The average discharges required to grow sugarcane and wheat area, respectively, 0.36 and 0.27 cumecs. the time factor is 0.9. The required design capacity of the canal is
    1. 0.36 cumecs
    2. 0.40 cumecs
    3. 0.63 cumecs
    4. 0.70 cumecs
Correct Option: D

Design capacity =
Total discharge
Time factor

Total discharge, Q = 0.36 + 0.27 = 0.63 m³/s
Time factor = 0.9
0.63
= 0.7 m³/s
0.9
