Water is delivered from a reservoir to an irrigation project through an earthen canal at a rate of flow of 5 cumecs. The seepage losses in canal were estimated to be 0.1 cumecs/km, length of canal is 10 km, area of project is 1000 donum, and the depth of water to be applied and stored in the field is 10 cm. What is the application efficiency taking into account that water is applied on the field one day for irrigation? Assume that net area equal to gross area and t, = ta.

Water is delivered from a reservoir to an irrigation project through an earthen canal at a rate of flow
of 5 cumecs. The seepage losses in canal were estimated to be 0.1 cumecs/km, length of canal is 10
km, area of project is 1000 donum, and the depth of water to be applied and stored in the field is 10
cm. What is the application efficiency taking into account that water is applied on the field one day
for irrigation? Assume that net area equal to gross area and tg ta.
