The soil moisture at field capacity is 40% (volume basis) and at wilting point it is 16%. Allow ¼ of the total available moisture to be retained in the soil before applying irrigation water. For a 1-m soil depth to be wetted, compute the: A. amount of water to be applied (in cm) if water application efficiency is 80%, B. stream flow required in lps to irrigate 10 hectares in 12 hours, C. number of days for the crop to consume the available moisture before you apply another round of irrigation if rate of water consumption is 8 mm/day.
