The intensity of irrigation is 75% of cultivable area of 6000 ha. The discharge required for crops planted in monsoon, Rabi and hot weather conditions are 2.4 m^3/s, 2.0 m^3/s and 2.8 m^3/sec. The canal was operative for a period of 14 days during the irrigation period of 20 days. Calculate the discharge required at head of canal if the capacity factor is 0.8.
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.
