Question

hydrology engineering

The following data are collected for a proposed tank in an agricultural land:
Catchment area = 5000 Donum, Annual average rainfall = 600 mm.
Average runoff coefficient of the catchment area = 23%.
Dependable rainfall is 70% of the annual average rainfall.
Annual consumptive use of the wheat crop is 350 mm, Irrigation efficiency = 60%
Water available for irrigation is only 80% of the stored water in the tank.
Required:
(a) How many times the tank will be full during the year? If the capacity of the tank is (0.483
MCM) m³.
(b) The area planted by wheat crop (in Donums) that can be irrigated by the tank.
