In an agricultural area, the porosity and field capacity of the soil are measured as 46% and 39%, respectively. For a certain crop the permanent wilting point is 11% and the depth of the root zone is 1.2 m. The consumptive use is 16 mm/day. If the irrigation efficiency is Reg.No/100%, solve for the frequency of irrigation such that the moisture content does not fall below 50% of the maximum available water.

Q#1 (a) In an agricultural area, the porosity and field capacity of the soil are measured as
46% and 39%, respectively. For a certain crop the permanent wilting point is 11%
and the depth of the root zone is 1.2 m. The consumptive use is 16 mm/day. If the
irrigation efficiency is Reg.No/100%, solve for the frequency of irrigation such that
the moisture content does not fall below 50% of the maximum available water.
(b) Solve for (a) the most economical trapezoidal canal section having boulder lining
with the following data: discharge = Reg. No/min, rugosity coefficient = 0.025, side
slope of canal = 2:1 (b) Allowable bed slope of the canal.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F952b5364-56bd-495c-b3b1-c196a877bac4%2F510b83b3-96f9-4815-b5cb-9ce59a82f844%2Fz6kru0o_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
