Solution:

Consider the following statements about Stream Flow Routing:

1) Prism storage depends only on the flood outflow.

2) Wedge storage depends on the difference between inflow and outflow.

Solution:

The data for an agricultural field for a specific month are given below:

Pan Evaporation = 100 mm

Effective rainfall = 20 mm (after deducting losses due to runoff and deep percolation)

Crop coefficient = 0.4

Irrigation efficiency = 0.5

The amount of irrigation water (rounded in mm) to be applied to the field in that month, is

Solution:

The command area (CCA) of a watercourse is 1500 hectares. The cropping intensity of sugarcane and wheat crops is 20% and 40% respectively. The duties for the crops at the head of the watercourse are 730 hectares/cumec for sugarcane and 1600 hectares/cumec for wheat. Calculate the design discharge at the outlet, assuming a time factor of 0.8.
