The CCA of a distributary is 15,000 hectares. The intensity of irrigation for rabi is 40% and for kharif is 15%. The total water requirement of two crops is 40cm and 120cm and their periods of growth are 160 days and 140 days respectively. Determine the outlet discharge from average demand considerations. Also determine peak demand discharge assuming that the kor water depth for two crops are 14 cm and 19cm & their kor periods are 4weeks and 2weeks respectively.
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.
