Detailed explanation-1: -=0.40.5×0.8=1.0 cumecs. Q. The total irrigation depth of water required by a certain crop in its entire growing period (150 days) is 25.92 cm.
Detailed explanation-2: -The discharge required for Rabi and Kharif crops are 0.4 m3/s and 0.3 m3/s respectively. The capacity and time factors are 0.8 and 0.5 respectively at each season. The design discharge of the distributary at its head is. No worries!
Detailed explanation-3: -The capacity factor is defined as the ratio of mean supply discharge in a canal during a period to its design full capacity. It is always less than 1. Canals have to run almost to their full designed capacities during Kharif (monsoon) season, this value usually varies from 0.9 to 0.95 for the Kharif season.
Detailed explanation-4: -Full Supply Coefficient: It is defined as the area estimated to be irrigated during the base period divided by the design full supply discharge of the channel at its head during maximum demand. This is also known as duty on capacity.
