Solution:

A reservoir with live storage of 200 million cubic meters irrigates 30,000 hectares (1 hectare = 10,000 m²) of a crop with two fillings of the reservoir. If the base period of the crop is 110 days, the duty for this crop (in hectares per cubic meter per second, rounded to the nearest integer) will be:

Solution:

The moisture content of soil in the root zone of an agricultural crop at certain stage is found to be 0.05. The field capacity of the soil is 0.15. The root zone depth is 1.1 m. The consumptive use of crop at this stage is 2.5 mm/day and there is no precipitation during this period. Irrigation efficiency is 65%. It is intended to raise the moisture content to the field capacity in 8 days through irrigation. The necessary depth of irrigation is (γd = 1.5)
