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/d. 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?

SOLVE THIS 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 1.5m. The runoff loss in the field was 445 m³. 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%.
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.
Q2) Given; fc = 30%, wp = 11 %, As=1.3, R.Z=80cm, and frequency of irrigation =12 days. Determine %3D consumptive use in (mm/day) if the moisture content must not fall below .25% of water holding capacity 10 O 12 O 8 O 15 O
What is the moisture depth available for evapotranspiration in of 1 m depth soil, if dry longer weight of soil is 1.5 gm/cc, field capacity is 30% growth. and permanent wilting point is 10%?
Q: 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.Im. Irrigation is done when 40% of available moisture is used. The total losses during irigation are 35% and peak daily moisture use is 4.5mm.
