Determine the area which can be irrigated using surface method of irrigation with a source of water having a discharge of 10000 litres per minute. The available moisture holding capacity of the soil is 180mm per metre and depth of root zone is 1.1m. Irrigation is done when 40% of available moisture is used. The total losses during irrigation are 35% and peak daily moisture use is 4.5mm.
Reservoir and Streamflow Routing
In hydrology, a reservoir is usually a natural pond that is enlarged or made using a dam to keep the water clean. Reservoirs or dams can be constructed in several ways, including controlling the existing watercourse, disrupting the watercourse to form embayment within it, by digging or building any number of retaining walls.
Water Resource Systems Analysis
Water resources are natural water sources that may be as useful as water sources. 97% of the world's water is saltwater and only 3% is pure water; just over two-thirds of this ice sheet is located in glaciers. The remaining pure frozen water is found primarily as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above the ground or in the air. Natural sources of freshwater include surface water, under river flow, groundwater, and ice water. Artificial water sources can include treated wastewater (recycled water) and saline seawater.
