The gross command area of an irrigation project is 1.5 lakh hectares,

where 7,500 hectares are unculturable. The area of kharif crop is 60,000
hectares and that of Rabi crop is 40,000 hectares. The duty of Kharif is
3000 hectares/cumec and the duty of Rabi is 4000 hectares/cumec.
Find
(a) The design discharge of channel assuming 10% transmission loss.
(b) Intensity of irrigation for Kharif and Rabi.
Ans:

Discharge for Kharif crops, =22 𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑐𝑠

Discharge for Rabi crops,= 11 𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑐𝑠

a) 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑘ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑓 = 42.11%

𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑅𝑎𝑏𝑖 = 28.07%
