A water course commands an irrigated area 1000 hectares. The intensity of irrigation of rice in this area is 70% The transplantation of rice crop takes 15 days and during the transplantation period the total depth of water required by the crop on the field is 500 mm. During the transplantation period, the useful rain falling on the field is 120 mm. Find the duty of irrigation water for the crop on the field during transplantation, at the head of the field and also at the head of the water course assuming losses of water to be 20% in the water course. Also calculate the discharge required in the water course.
