A stream of 200 lps was diverted from the river and 150 lps were delivered to the field. An area of 3 hectares was irrigated in 8 hours. The root-zone depth was 1.8 m. The run-off averaged 50 lps for 3 hours. The depth of water penetration varied linearly from 1.8 m at a head of the field to 1.2 m at the end of the field. Determine the water-conveyance efficiency, the water-application efficiency, the water storage efficiency, and the water distribution efficiency.

An oil tank is to be sited on a soft alluvial deposit of clay. Below the soft clay is athick layer of stiff clay. It was decided that a circular embankment, 10 m diameter,with wick drains inserted into the soft clay would be constructed to preconsolidateit. The height of the embankment is 6 m and the unit weight of the soil comprisingthe embankment is 18 kN/m3. The following data are available: thickness of softclay = 7 m, ks = 1 × 10−10 m/s and Ch = 0.6 m2/yr. The desired degree ofconsolidation is 90% in 12 months.

A stream size of 150 lit/sec was released from the diversion headwork to irrigate a land of area 1-8 hectare. The stream size when measured at the delivery to the field channels is 120 lit/sec. The stream was continued for 8 hours. The effective root zone depth is 1.80 m. The application losses in the field are estimated to be 440 m³. The depth of water penetration was 1-80 m and 1-20 m at the head and tail of the run respectively. The available water holding capacity of the soil is 21 cm/m and irrigation was done at 60% depletion of available moisture (A). Find conveyance efficiency (EJ), water application efficiency (Ea), water storage efficiency (E) and water distribution efficiency (Ed). The stream size delivered to the plot was 100 lit/sec.
