.---. A stream of 150 litres per second was delivered from a canal and 110 litres per second were delivered to the field. An area of 2.2 hectares was irrigated in eight hours. The effective depth of root zone was 1.5 m. The runoff loss in the field was 445 m The depth of water penetration varied linearly from 1.5 m at the head end of the field to 1.1 m at the tail end. Available moisture holding capacity of the soil is 200 mm per metre depth of soil. Determine the water conveyance efficiency, water application efficiency, water storage efficiency, and water distribution efficiency. Irrigation was started at a moisture extraction level of 50%

For a 1-m soil depth to be wetted, compute the: A. amount of water to be applied (in cm) if water application efficiency is 80%, B. stream flow required in lps to irrigate 10 hectares in 12 hours, C. number of days for the crop to consume the available moisture before you apply another round of irrigation if rate of water consumption is 8 mm/day.
6. The soil moisture at field capacity is 27.2% and the moisture content at the time of irrigating is 19.0%. The As is 1.3 and the depth of soil to be wetted is 1.0 m. a. How many ha-mm ha' of water must be applied? b. How long will it take to irrigate the 5 ha with 115 li sec stream?
In a cultivated area, the soil has porosity of 45% and field capacity of 38%. For a particular crop, the root zone depth is 1.0 m, the permanent wilting point is 10% and the consumptive use is 15 mm/day. If the irrigation efficiency is 60%, what should be the frequency of irrigation such that the moisture content does not fall below 50% of the maximum available moisture? (a) 5 days (c) 9 days (b) 6 days (d) 11 days
f. Describe the probable root system of a crop which has been applied with frequent, light and widely spaced heavy irrigation. g. What factors affect the scheduling of irrigation water? h. If soil moisture is to be restored to field capacity, how much water should be applied if moisture tension reaches the permanent wilting point? i. Assume that readily available moisture amounts to 150 mm/meter depth of soil profile. If consumptive use rate is 5mm/day what is the irrigation interval for a crop with 30 cm root zone.
Third Stage Irrigation and Drainage Exgincring Group D: Qr: The water content at the field capacity is 27.2% by weight and it was 19% by weight for irrigation (wilting point), depth of the root zone is 0.92m and the apparent specific gravity is Mr. Maarnar ALTau 1.3.

The moisture holding capacity of the soil in a 100 hectare farm is 18 cm/m. The field is to be irrigated when 50 percent of the available moisture in the root zone is depleted. The irrigation water is to be supplied by a pump working for 10 hours a day, and water application efficiency is 75 percent. Details of crops planned for cultivation are as follows: Peak rate of Crop X Y Root zone depth (m) 1.0 0.8 moisture use (mm/day) 5.0 4.0 The capacity of irrigation system required to irrigate crop 'X' in 36 hectares is پر
Following data are given: 1. Available moisture holding capacity of soil-12.5cm/m depth of soil 2. Root zone depth of crop=0.8m 3. Consumptive use=5mm/day If moisture depletion is allowed to 50% of available moisture then the frequency of irrigation will be ___days.
A stream of 135 L/s was diverted from a canal and 100 L/s were delivered to the field. An area of 1.6hectares was irrigated in 8 hours. The effective depth of root zone was 1.8 m. the runoff loss in the fieldwas 432 m3. The depth of water penetration varied linearly from 1.8 m at the head end of the field to1.2 m at the tail end. Available moisture holding capacity of the soil is 20 cm per meter depth of soil.Irrigation was started at a moisture extraction level of 50 percent of the available moisture. Determine;a. The water conveyance efficiencyb. The water application efficiencyc. The water storage efficiencyd. The water distribution efficiency
(a) After how many days will we supply water to the soil in order to insure sufficient irrigation of a crop? If field capacity is 28%, Permanent wilting point 13%, unit weight of soil is 1.3 g/cm³, depth of root zone is 70 cm and daily consumptive use is 12mm.
Estimate the depth and frequency of irrigation required For a certain crop, given: Assume 50% depletion of available moisture as the indicator to began application of irrigation water. Root zone depth : 90 cm Field capacity : 22% Wilting point : 12% Apparent sp. gr. of soil: 1.5 Consumptive use : 22 mm/day Efficiency of irrigation : 60%
